    OMG - I read Joey's post and this immediately came to mind.

    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    The majority of people who have mental disease ( topic: Alzheimer's disease ) are never diagnosed or treated in time. Just the first symptoms not discovered often in everyday life. They can be discovered only by specific medical examinations. That was the reason for me (an old man) to get tested on Alzheimer.

    Maybe you need to get a second opinion then.

    I doubt the fact only legally qualified windows installations can be upgraded.

    There are conflicting reports online about whether the Windows 10 Free Upgrade will be available for PCs with a non genuine licensed Windows, too.

    That’s probably actually true:
    Non genuine licensed (pirated) versions of Windows 7 SP1 & Windows 8.1 are not supported by Microsoft - which means no Windows 10 Free Upgrade.

    IMO pirates don’t need to upgrade Windows for free. They will just pirate Windows 10 for free.

    Has anyone's PC (Pirated or otherwise) updated yet
    I have both a genuine and a pirated, both have the 'Get Windows 10" Icon and both have 'Reserved' a copy,
    but so far to date, nothing has eventuated.
    In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
    The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated and the wife has gone off to her mum's.

    Although my lappy is the only machine for which I have requested the "upgrade" it is still offering me the free "upgrade". I haven't spent enough time on my "illegal" w7 machine to see if that is eligible.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    Pirates don't need to pirate win 10 for free, they just can enjoy it for free.

    GWX was distributed via update KB3035583. GWX sets up four scheduled tasks. It's actual state is only notification about your Windows 10 Free Upgrade reservation - if you reserved a copy.

    If it's not a PC with genuine Windows 7 SP1 and/or Windows 8.1 I believe the Windows 10 Free Upgrade if reserved will be uploaded to your PC, you then even can install it, but you never can activate it properly - by legal means.

    You always can query whether GWX detected your existing Windows edition to be a genuine one, or not: Simply look in Windows Event Viewer, under Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > GWX-Ins




    We all know that "Windows Update" doesn't work on PCs which aren't activated properly. So a Windows 10 Free Upgrade installed is useless.

    Again, Microsoft said . They also said that they are planning to run some "very attractive Windows 10 upgrade offers" that will allow people with pirated copies to move to an official version.

    Specific details of that haven't been announced yet.


    I Windows 10 Free Upgrade successfully was uploaded to your PC, you automatically get notified by GWX:

    Good to have an idea of whats going to happen if a copy is 'reserved' and activated.
    Sometimes I get quite concerned when the computer goes off on its own clicking, clacking, blank screening etc with cryptic messages often displayed shorter than a Politicians promise lasts so you begin to wonder after whats seems forever, will it ever come back to useability again???
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!
