As you may have heard, the American multinational corporation, Microsoft will grant everyone who’s running windows 7, 8, and 8.1 a free update of Windows 10 on release. Even pirated copies!

What you may NOT have heard, is that this update for the pirated copies will have NO LICENSE. As a result, users of such operating systems will not get support and will face other limitations.

“With Windows 10, although non-genuine PCs may be able to upgrade to Windows 10, the upgrade will not change the genuine state of the license,” as mentioned from an interview by VentureBeat, a spokesman from Microsoft. “Non-genuine Windows is not published by Microsoft. It is not properly licensed or supported by Microsoft or a trusted partner.”
