Hi,
Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community. I will surely help you.
This update is provided as an Optional Update through Windows Update for the Windows 8.1 Operating System.
Refer the article to know how to get this Update:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2976978
Hope this information helps. Reply to the post with an updated status of the issue to assist you further.
It is not optional if it's required to get the Windows 10 upgrade. Nor was I ever asked about it when I downloaded and installed 8.1.
And I love the runaround from Microsoft -
"This is missing. Where do I get it?"
"Read this article on how to get it."
Just a heads up, geniuses at Microsoft: when someone asks where to get something that should have already been included in a download, they are NOT asking to be directed to an article! Point them directly to a download so they can do what they need to do and get on with their lives.
No help whatsoever - the question was how or where can I download the app not send me a link to more useless microsoft rubbish
I have reserved Windows 10 twice now and I still haven't received it.
