already answered you, I upgraded through the iso from the media Creation ToolTech Guru wroteIs the .IOS downloaded via MediaCreationToolx64 , allows only a fresh windows 10 installation or can I update my current Windows through it (Genuine Windows 8.1 64 Bit). I already confirmed a month ago for the update, but still the update notification did not roll over.
Windows 10
Can I still get a free copy (I didn't reserve one)?

guys how much time an upgrade(not install) will take on a normal hdd 7200rpm?
i don't know how much time the download took .. but on an SSD it took 20mins to upgrade from windows 8.1 pro (pirated) to windows 10 pro (genuine)
It's been an hour now :s and it's on 80%(configuring windows stage) which i think it's the last stage
stuck at "making sure your ready to install", cancelled it and now its stuck on "setup is cleaning up before it closes" am tempted to shut it down!!!!
Make sure the internet is good before making this step

Have you seen this: https://jonathan.porta.codes/2015/07/30/windows-10-seems-to-have-some-scary-privacy-defaults/ ?
It's about the privacy defaults in windows 10.

So I take it you got a genuine copy even though your 8.1 was cracked? Or is it still considered cracked?NAM wrotei don't know how much time the download took .. but on an SSD it took 20mins to upgrade from windows 8.1 pro (pirated) to windows 10 pro (genuine)

Yes, all copies of Windows 7 and 8 (whether pirated or not) are upgradeable to a genuine copy of Windows 10.
I've upgraded from genuine Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. What happens if I would like to clean format my computer after a year? Will I lose my Windows 10 activation?
No you will not you can use win8.1 product key on win 10MrClass wroteI've upgraded from genuine Windows 8.1 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. What happens if I would like to clean format my computer after a year? Will I lose my Windows 10 activation?
No, just no. Pirated stays pirated and doesn't get security updates.tt400 wroteKazouza wroteSo I take it you got a genuine copy even though your 8.1 was cracked?

That's what I read/thought at first. But after browsing the piracy subreddit, it seems that most people with cracked windows are getting at least somewhat verified keys. Some of them are permanent keys, others last for 60-180 days depending on what loader they used etcDie_Kapitan wroteNo, just no.
