If you are using a pirated Windows 7 or Window is 8.1, Microsoft will now offer you a chance it to genuine Windows 10.

Microsoft said on Thursday that theyt would conduct an experiment to allow users to use pirated or unlicensed versions of Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to download a licensed copy of the official website of Microsoft, or the use of authorized code provided by third party distributors. Either way, the authorized Windows 10 system can be used to update the PC with a valid license.

Microsoft executive Terry Myerson (Myerson Terry) in the blog, said: “we welcome as many users as possible to join the legitimate Windows ecosystem.”

Why is this important? Microsoft initially said in March this year, the installation of pirated Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 users can upgrade to Windows 10. The company subsequently clarified by the upgraded, users will continue to run unauthorized version.

It is not clear how much of the global piracy software, but the business software alliance said that in 2010, the world every 10 software programs, there are 4 for the illegal version. But Microsoft’s free upgrade policy will significantly lower the proportion of this. In addition, Amazon through the U disk sales of Windows 10 home edition price of $110, Microsoft’s own sales of the Windows 10 professional edition is $200.

Myerson said, Windows 10 upgrade process, Microsoft accidentally discovered a lot of pirated users to upgrade to the latest system, and then to buy a valid license to Microsoft. It also brings inspiration to the company.

“We will offer a chance to wash white by Store Windows or from other places to buy activation code.” He wrote, “if this can be the most users legit channels, we will expand the scope of the study.”

Microsoft said in a statement, genuine Windows is the best Windows, you can get official support, the probability of being malicious software damage is also lower.
