How to judge whether the watermarked Win10 system is pirated?

Win10 has a variety of versions on the market due to the Windows Insider membership program, which makes many new users feel puzzled. In particular, the various preview versions of the watermark format are different, and very similar to the pirated mark of the Win7/Win8.1 era, which will make some users mistakenly think that their system is pirated. It should be noted that under Windows 10, there is a watermark that is not necessarily pirated; no watermark is not genuine. But once a watermark is available, it is definitely pirated, at least the system is not activated. How can I see it? After reading the following, you can see the mystery at a glance.

▲Not activated Win10 official version of the watermark style

Win10 watermark is generally divided into two categories, one is the preview version of the watermark, fixed in the lower right corner of the desktop, the format is not unique, this and The nature of the version is related (as shown below). The other is the pirated watermark, which is the new variety in Win10. From the style point of view, this is called the real watermark: semi-transparent font, always displayed at the front (as shown above).

For the Win10 preview version of the watermark, because it does not always "display at the forefront", only plays the role of the version tag, so it The normal use of users has little effect, of course, many "perfect obsessive-compulsive disorder" users must not be able to withstand this "destroyed", so you can try to download and use Win10 preview to go to the watermark tool for processing.

For the unactivated prompt watermark, there is currently only one format. This kind of watermark font is large, and can be placed on the front end display, which affects normal use, because it is really "unsightly". To get rid of it, you have to activate the system early.

So, in the case of watermark, want to rely on the watermark to see through Win10 is pirated, whether it has been activated, as long as you have The watermark type can be judged directly and quickly: the font size is large, the translucent top shows the pirated (inactive) watermark; the white small character in the lower right corner of the desktop is the Win10 preview watermark, no need to worry.

In addition, at the beginning of this article, "No watermark is not necessarily genuine", it is said that the official version of Win10 that has not been activated will not have the activation prompt watermark after the installation is completed (after restarting two or three times) Will appear), but the system at this time is not genuine, so it is not safe to judge the source of the system by the presence or absence of a watermark.
