Last week, reports surfaced that Microsoft will eliminate the Windows
10 operating system when it is launched around the middle of next year,
including for users of pirated Windows.
"We were offered an upgrade to all PC owners who qualify, either native or not, to Windows 10, call the Microsoft Operating System Division Chief Terry Myerson told Reuters.
Coverage is causing confusion. Is it true that Microsoft offers operating system free of charge to users of pirated Windows?
Blogger Paul Thurrott who often write about everything about Microsoft thinks otherwise. Referring to the recent statement released by Microsoft about this, he said that the real Windows 10 will not be distributed free of charge to everyone.
"Although PCs with non-genuine software can upgrade to Windows 10, the process will not change the status of the license," Microsoft said in a statement that summarized from the site Thurrott (03/22/2015).
"If a device has been found to be using non-genuine software before upgrading, then the device in question will continue to be considered use of non-genuine software after upgrading," the statement continued.
So what has changed with Windows 10, related to the case? "Actually, nothing has changed," wrote Thurrott.
According to him, in case this is genuine or fake, Windows upgrade mechanism 10 will be the same as, for example, the process of upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1.
Pirated Windows users to upgrade to Windows 10 will not change the status of the operating system, which will still be considered as pirated and will not be supported by Microsoft.
If you want to change the status of the OS to be "genuine", the users still have to buy a Windows product key from Microsoft.
At the end of his writing, Thurrot regretted that does not change Microsoft's move against users of pirated software.
According to him, Microsoft could provide "amnesty" to the pirated OS so that users can switch use original software via a free upgrade, or at least provide a low-cost upgrade packages that are accessible to everyone.
"Unfortunately, that's not what happened," Thurrott lid.
