Pirated win7/win8 upgrade win10 black screen? Whether pirated upgrade win10 will be black screen

Microsoft official said that it has never said that pirated upgrade win10 will be black screen, the following small series will bring you news about whether win8/win8 upgrade win10 will be black screen, interested friends and small Let's go and see it together.

At the recent WinHEC (Windows Hardware Engineering Industry Innovation Summit) held in Shenzhen, Microsoft officially announced a partnership with several domestic manufacturers to provide localized Windows 10 upgrade solutions for Chinese users. This localized upgrade solution can be considered a benefit for domestic users. However, some people have raised questions about whether users using non-genuine Windows systems can also upgrade to Win10. On this issue, Terry Myerson, vice president of Microsoft's operating system department, said in an interview with Reuters: As long as the minimum hardware configuration requirements, whether it is non-genuine or genuine Windows, you can upgrade to Windows 10. Then The Verge learned from Microsoft that users who use non-genuine Windows systems are still non-genuine after the upgrade. Microsoft will provide mechanisms in the Windows 10 app store to help users buy and convert to genuine.

Presumably, many users have also seen it. Some reports on the Internet today are biased: after upgrading to Windows 10 using a non-genuine Windows system, since it is still non-genuine, the system will prompt the user to purchase genuine use, so there will be every The case where the black screen is black once.

In fact, Microsoft did not mention the black screen every hour.

Then, "every hour, black screen 1 time," is the origin of the statement? Users who have used non-genuine Win7 system have also encountered such a situation. Users who have used non-genuine Windows7 will find that the system prompts the user in the lower right corner of the desktop "This copy of Windows is not genuine". Perhaps in order to let the user notice this prompt, the system will automatically change the desktop wallpaper to pure black, even if the user replaces the desktop wallpaper with something else, every 60 minutes (hourly), the desktop wallpaper will turn into pure black again. .

The blackening of desktop wallpapers also appears on non-genuine Windows 8. Non-genuine Win8 will also require the user to enter the Key to activate the system, otherwise the user will always be prompted to activate in the lower right corner of the desktop. In addition, some system functions on non-genuine Windows 8 need to be activated before they can be used, such as system personalization.

On the issue of "black screen", in fact, Microsoft made a detailed explanation in the "2008 and Office Genuine Value Added Program Notice" (WGA/OGA) published in 2008 to help users correctly understand the so-called "Black screen", as follows:

Misunderstanding 1: "Black screen" understanding

Internet popular Microsoft will make your computer black screen, resulting in unable to login, can not use. This is not true. This WGA notice just replaces your desktop background (that is, the wallpaper we often say) with black color. You can replace it with other images by yourself, but it will automatically change back to black color after 60 minutes. No matter from what point of view, it will not affect the use of any other programs and will not cause the computer itself to be unusable and cannot be logged in.

Go back to non-genuine Windows to upgrade Windows 10. Microsoft also did not mention any functional limitations after upgrading from a non-genuine Windows system to Windows 10, or it could not be used after an upgrade. The argument that will be limited is only the speculation that The Verge made based on the methods Microsoft used on older versions of Windows.

So please pay attention to users, about the non-genuine Windows system upgrade Windows 10 will be black screen every hour, non-genuine Windows system will be restricted after upgrading to Windows 10, etc., currently do not get Microsoft official Confirmation
