JohnOne Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 In many reports I read, including from microsoft website, I was led to believe that non genuine or "pirated" copies of windows 7 would still be upgraded to windows 10 but remain in their non genuine state.However it has not been the case when I tried it, during the install I am asked to enter a product key.It makes me wonder if they simply lied to fool non genuine users.

JohnOne Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Looks to me then that is might not have been an outright lie, just some deliberate misleading information.No sweat, was just for my VM.EDIT: for the record, I just put in a key I found and it has gone past the key screen and is checking for updates.

kaotkbliss Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Everything I read said that only genuine and up to date installs of Win7 would be offered to upgrade to 10 for free. 010101000110100001101001011100110010000001101001011100110010000 001101101011110010010000001110011011010010110011100100001 My Android cat and mouse gamehttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KaosVisions.WhiskersNSqueek We're gonna need another Timmy!
Administrators Jon Posted July 30, 2015 Administrators Posted July 30, 2015 There were articles about offering the Chinese free upgrades, even for non-genuine. I don't know if this is still the case or if this article was the source of all the misunderstandings.http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/03/18/us-microsoft-china-idUSKBN0ME06A20150318
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted July 30, 2015 Moderators Posted July 30, 2015 honestly, would do them well to allow everyone an upgrade pirated or not.
