Microsoft announced that free update Windows 10 PCs with pirated copies of Windows 7 and 8, but now the company clarifies that this does not mean that the state of the pirated version change with the upgrade.
Some studies have concluded that three quarters of the software in PCs today are not under an appropriate license, particularly in countries like China. Offer a new version of its operating system for users who have pirated Windows represents a major change in strategy and allows millions to enjoy the new features of Windows 10 without paying a dime.

Yet , although users with a pirated copy of Windows can upgrade for free to Windows 10 version would be considered a non-genuine copy, as he told a spokesman told CNET in Spanish.
Although non-genuine Windows PCs could be upgraded to 10, the update does not change the status of the license. This applies across geographies. Customers who are improperly licensed before the update will not have a proper license after the upgrade. We will provide a mechanism for devices with Windows 10 does not genuine “obtain an original copy” through the new Windows Store.

Microsoft expected to elaborate on this in the future, but it is possible that users update pirated copies of Windows 10 still receive messages to request verification of the copy of the operating system and Microsoft could turn up in the future these pirated versions of Windows 10.
However, the latter could be the most dramatic of all and could lead to also lose customers. Allowing users to continue using Windows 10 even though they have a pirated copy, open possibility that many users purchase the license to stop receiving messages and relax using Windows 10.
Windows 10 this summer will be launched in 190 countries in 111 languages and hopes to be the operating system that works across different classes of devices, including mobile phones, tablets and computers. Microsoft will offer an upgrade to Windows 10 for free for the first year to users with devices that have Windows 7, Windows 8.1, as Windows Phone 8.1
