The release of Windows 10, Microsoft provides the user privileges for Windows 7 and 8.1 licensed genuine, that they can upgrade to Windows 10 free in the first year of release. After Windows 10 is upgraded so they can use forever and will continue to get support, patches, and updates.
And what about the fate of pirated licensed Windows users (non-genuine)?
There Watermark Non-Genuine
When performing the upgrade process, Windows 10 will check whether your Windows is installed and licensed correctly. If it turns out Windows detects that are not right in it (eg license pirated or non-genuine), then after you upgraded Windows 10 will add a certain watermark.
Microsoft has not revealed what kind of watermark for sure, but it seems not so much different from the current watermark that reads 'This is not a genuine copy of Windows'.
If the watermark appears in the 'Windows Genuine Licensed'
Not uncommon at this time laptop buyer's built-in Windows Genuine become a victim of theft license by a certain person. License which should belong to the buyer has taken, sold, and the device is overwritten with the pirated Windows.
If you feel buy a device with the Windows Genuine therein but apparently after upgrading to Windows 10 get non-genuine watermark, then immediately contact the customer support or the retailer where you purchased to request the original license. There is a possibility of the installation process, activation, or apply your license problematic. In fact, it could be you are a victim of theft license by certain parties who are not responsible.
Special Offer for Non-Genuine Windows Users
Although not described in more detail, but Microsoft said that they would work closely with OEM partners to provide a special offer for users of non-genuine Windows while upgrading to Windows 10.
This means that if you Acer laptop users with non-genuine Windows, for example, then you can come to Acer for upgrading to Windows 10 genuine price and special offers. But Microsoft itself has not explained to what extent it is about the details of the special offer.
