In other words, users of illegal copies of Windows 7 and Windows 8 will be able to upgrade to Windows 10, but still no official confirmation that this will be completely free process. "We will provide a mechanism for users who use illegal software, to become legal in the Windows Store. Whether you upgrade your version of Windows, or buy (new)."
