For the first twelve months after the release of Windows 10, any Windows user using Windows 7 or up will be able to upgrade their OS for free. But get this: you don’t even have to legitimately own the operating system. Microsoft is offering the free operating system upgrade even for pirates!
“Anyone with a qualified device can upgrade to Windows 10, including those with pirated copies of Windows,” says a Microsoft spokesperson in a statement to The Verge. “We believe customers over time will realize the value of properly licensing Windows and we will make it easy for them to move to legitimate copies.”
I guess that’s one way to get everyone to use legitimate copies of your operating system. Just give it away!
