anuseems Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If you're a pirate, your license remains "non-genuine"what does that even mean?From ArsTechnica:That statement had one very confusing sentence: "If a device was considered non-genuine or mislicensed prior to the upgrade, that device will continue to be considered non-genuine or mislicensed after the upgrade." We reached out to Microsoft for clarification, to find out what it actually means to have a non-genuine copy of Windows 10. "We dont have anything further to share outside of the statement at the moment."Where does that leave us? Clearly, if you're running a pirated version of Windows 7 or 8.1, you will get a free upgrade to Windows 10but it will still be considered "non-genuine or mislicensed." Does this mean that you'll get a nag screen every time you boot up? Does it mean that you can only use your PC for a few weeks before it locks you out and forces you to buy a license?http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/the-windows-10-free-upgrade-for-pirates-more-confusing-than-it-seems/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPECTRUM Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 If you're a pirate, your license remains "non-genuine"what does that even mean? is the same that with any Windows version since XP, it will install, but the licence will remain in trial mode, which give you around 30 days of usage, after that you have to activate Windows.
