Old System Update Readiness Tools appearing

[polonus]

Hi ehmen,

When your computer does not qualify for a free update to windows 10 you won't see it appear.
It appears in the task bar on the right hand side, and it is smaller than the white windows icon at the left for Windows 8.1 for instance. All others that had it since July 26/27 etc. know what I am talking about. As you cannot be aware, you probably won't know what we are talking about. Read the threads about Windows 10 and I am sure that bob3160 has mentioned it a few times. He is really Windows 10 savvy and has published a whole thread on this subject.

Thanks polonus, in middle of reading your explanation I remembered what you're talking about (though I don't have it, I've seen a screenshot of it around before).

I won't be upgrading this slow computer to W10 anyway, so a restore point will do for the purposes of this discussion, though I'll wait on installing these System Update Readiness Tools, maybe once the one from the year 2000 appears (at the rate they're appearing ) I'll consider installing the old Readiness Tools  .

If the little windows icon appears for you and you click it it should state whether your computer is compatible.
I have the all green but will wait until Windows10 growth pains "have eased out", if you know what I mean.
