My understanding was they will let pirated systems upgrade to Windows 10, just not for free. If it's non genuine before the upgrade its non genuine after and will require activation. They have to buy a Windows 10 license to keep using Windows 10. As far as I know, they never said pirated systems would get a free ride.
Linux has long way to go before it can replace Windows. Every year is getting closer but not close enough! It has to get universal installers so installing and uninstalling applications will be easier. Yes, there is the application center, but unfortunately not every application is available at the center. You still have to manually download some from the programmer's site. It also must have wizard for installing devices. Users should never need to compile from source. After making sure is as user friendly as possible (that means do everything from GUI, not the terminal), it must improve compatibility with devices. You can pick any device you want and it will surely work in at least one Windows version. But if you have Linux you have to double-triple check compatibility before buying. This is certainly not what the average user can or is willing to do.
That's the problem! Unless the key is blacklisted, Microsoft cannot tell if it has been activated legally or illegally. Unless of course they would come in people's house demanding to check the computer for a COA sticker or other proof of purchase. Who would allow them that? At least not without a warrant!

Both very happy
Only had to update some drivers made sure everything set up and working

Well happy I am to off been able to help them
They can detect some illegally patched systems and kill the files doing it during the upgrade. That's when you system comes up not genuine and un activated. It all depends on how your cheating activation. There is more to it than just the key being used. OEM-SLP activation is often cheated with boot loaders. Microsoft knows that and how to detect them etc. Some cheats will get detected some will slip through.
Well clearly Windows Genuine Advantage is is not working.
There are millions of PC,S activated by an Activator, and they all got upgraded to Windows 10.
Without Microsoft picking it up, or neglecting to pick it up.
Wake up and smell the coffee!
You live in a world where you think everything is perfect.
Well, this little world is far from that, no matter what anyone tells you.
