Everyone criticizes fake Windows, but why does my system let me keep using the OS without warning it's not real? If it detects the lack of a license, shouldn't it clearly say so instead of just skipping the upgrade? Thanks for pointing this out, Dan.

It seems like a prohibited product key was found. Several similar product keys were marked as frequently reused.

Upgrade alerts are sent even for non-genuine keys. It looks like many users aren't receiving these notifications.

Loading windows in a manner that mimics an OEM key gives full access to upgrade to an authentic Windows 10 version. Several users have verified this.

With a non-original Windows 8 version, it's possible to obtain a real license since you weren't able to upgrade to 8.1.

Windows 8 isn't compatible with an upgrade to Windows 10, whereas Windows 8.1 is.

You can upgrade to a non-genuine version of Win10. The license remains unchanged, but you can proceed with the installation. Obtain the genuine key afterward.
