They will get it, but saying that they are using a pirated copy, they are victim of piracy etc etc.Just wanted to ask, many of my friends have pirated windows, which is activated. They also got the notification to upgrade to Windows 10. Will they get it? Or something non-genuine. Thanks.
At the moment Windows 10 boots for the first time, he will get notification about pirated copy and that he needs to activate Windows within 30 days.Well, my friend got the notification and reserved it. He had to run gwx.exe for it.... His Windows activation says genuine, though it's pirated. So, I mean, his Windows 7 says it's activated, if he upgrades to Windows 10, will it say not activated/non-genuine or activated.
People with pirated Windows etc., really annoy me. I, like a huge majority of people on this forum pay for our license/cd/dvd keys, and we end up paying more because of people who have and use fake copies, just like car insurance. Microsoft should just block them as soon as they connect to the net.
That's strange. If they are using pirated copies, then they shouldn't (according to Microsoft) even be able to get the notification at all.
Why don’t I have the Get Windows 10 app?

You got to realize that some people may or may not have the money to buy windows, which forces them to pirate it.
I will never understand why a person would pirate windows even though they have to buy a computer with a OS installed.
And I don't think Microsoft can block these activators as they run at boot. (They might figure out how to block it someday)
Microsoft can block any unlicensed, pirated or cracked Windows. They just don't want to...
What? I can't imagine such a scenario.You got to realize that some people may or may not have the money to buy windows, which forces them to pirate it.
