Pre-requisite hell.

You cannot get to see the stripper,
unless you pay the cover charge to
the dude at the door.

The 583 will at least need some platform update
first. Since the Upgrade Assistant needs some
version of .NET, you need your .NET installed too.
This was a major roadblock to older OSes running
Upgrade Assistant type applications. And for some
reason, my Windows Update offered '583, right after
I'd finished installing IE11. Yet, at least one other
post I could find, succeeded in getting the icon
with only IE10 installed.

KB 2952664 WU patch
KB 2990214 platform update
KB 3035583 nag
KB 3021917 (telemetry patch)

The Microsoft Answers forum, had a thread with more than
1000 posts in it, and someone put together a .bat with
several techniques for coaxing the thing to work.
Some of that is copied here. You can easily examine the
..bat in Notepad, to see if it's safe or not. (This may not
be the same download link as the Microsoft Answers one.)

Besides requiring Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 8.1 Update,
you must also have installed:

For Windows 7 SP1:
KB3035583
KB2952664
For Windows 8.1 Update:
KB3035583
KB2976978

https://www.dropbox.com/s/0u0au9xgy6..._full.zip?dl=0

For the copy I got and tried, these were the details.

win10fix_full.bat 7,692 bytes
MD5 = ec8cafdf7da32c0b106a5a3a49ae473c
SHA1 = b018a732740a3c078a06b323b13cb4ff8a3710d4 win10fix_full.bat

If your Win7 SP1 has a license key installed, that's going
to help. I installed *everything*, full Windows Update on
a test install, and it would not present the icon. Using
the .bat file wouldn't do it either. Without the license
key and activation, it's dead Jim.

Someone was joking, that a Win7 with "pirate activation",
would present an upgrade link for Win10 Core. And here I
was thinking they would check for stuff like that...
