Microsoft Windows OS is notorious for being pirated. While the Redmond giant
has offered users of genuine Windows 7 and higher OSes a free upgrade to
Windows 10 for PC, the same offer isn’t valid if your Windows copy is
Non-Genuine or pirated.
“While our free offer to upgrade to Windows 10 will not apply to Non-Genuine
Windows devices, and as we’ve always done, we will continue to offer Windows 10
to customers running devices in a Non-Genuine state. In addition, in
partnership with some of our valued OEM partners, we are planning very
attractive Windows 10 upgrade offers for their customers running one of their
older devices in a Non-Genuine state,” said Terry Myerson on the Windows
blog. There was no mention of costs in the blog,
in case a non-genuine user wants to buy an original Windows 10 OS.
According to Microsoft, the company shows a watermark to notify the user if
his or her copy of Windows is genuine or not. Non-Genuine Windows makes you
vulnerable to high risk of malware, fraud, public exposure of personal
information and so on.
On the Windows 10 Mobile front, Microsoft has released a new build for
phones which brings with it a lot of new features. Apart from the some Lumia
devices, this build will also support HTC One (M8) for Windows.
The Microsoft Build 10080 will support Lumia 930, Lumia Icon, Lumia 640,
Lumia 640XL and HTC One (M8) for Windows. According to the post on Windows
Blog, the Windows 10 Mobile will release after the launch of Windows 10
for PCs.
Some of the new features include Windows Store Beta for phones which is the
first new look of the new Windows Store in Windows 10 for phones. It will come
with limited functionality and will not have carrier billing feature enabled.
Another new feature is the Universal office apps such as Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and OneNote Preview apps.
Apart from this there will be a brand new Camera app. “Note that high-end
Lumia devices (1520, 1020, 930, 830, 640, and 640XL) have some features not
supported by the new Camera app. For these devices, the new app will work but
to get the full functionality from your device you will need to use the Lumia
Camera app,” said the blog.
Additionally, the new build has also resolved some known errors.
Microsoft had recently announced the different types of Windows 10 variants.
