Windows 10 has a mission to fight "pirated goods"?

Microsoft has just announced some policy changes for the upgrade system, which will certainly cause inconvenience and even frustration for users of pirated versions of Windows.

Microsoft's free upgrade policy to Windows 10 was implemented within a year of its launch, and after 3 months of implementation, there were more than 110 million devices on the market running Windows 10.

And to meet its goal of having 1 billion Windows 10 devices on the market by 2018, Microsoft has made a major upgrade policy change that has upset many people. Microsoft notes that people using pirated versions of Windows 7 and 8.1 will still be forced to upgrade to Windows 10.

But strangely, pirated Windows devices will be upgraded to Windows 10 via an activation key, which is being piloted first in the US before being rolled out to other countries. However, it will still be a pirated version of Windows 10, meaning you will continue to face copyright laws in that country.

In addition, Microsoft has also announced some subtle changes to the upgrade process for genuine Windows users. In the near future, you can comfortably turn off the upgrade notification once, because not everyone wants to upgrade to Windows 10. In fact, many people are annoyed by the constant upgrade notifications. A small change, allowing you to turn off the notification once, somewhat eases the annoyance, even if you still can't escape the situation of using pirated Windows.

The Windows 10 upgrade will be marked as an Optional Update in the Windows 7 and 8.1 upgrade program. This causes some people who are in the habit of installing updates to blindly click on the option, causing them to download Windows 10 even though they don't want to.

Even worse, next year Microsoft will implement a Recommended Update upgrade option, where updates will automatically download by default unless you turn this feature off, which Microsoft of course discourages.

Either way, after upgrading to Windows 10, you have 31 days to go back to your previous version. The only consolation is if you don't want to use Windows 10.
