Note : If you possess an illegal (pirated) version of Windows 7 or 8, you may also upgrade to Windows 10 for free. However, this will not change your operating system’s license status. An illegal copy stays illegal even if upgraded. A non-original Windows copy is not certified by Microsoft and does not have a valid license and support from Microsoft is not available.

So, “hackers” who install Windows 10 will not benefit from Microsoft support, future possible additions reserved for paying customers, no access to technical support, etc.

However, Microsoft will offer owners of a pirated version a simple way to authenticate (and thus pay) for their copy through the Windows Store.
