Yes,since pirates are never going to pay for an OS anyway so MS thought why not let them upgrade to win 10 & at least make revenue by using in-built advertising in win 10.:D

Else you can buy keys from eBay.com, from as low as ~200 rupees.
It is better to use crack than generating black money which can be used for criminal activities.

P.S. a few years ago a similar advice would be better to download pirated movie from internet rather than paying money for pirated VCD/DVD mass produced in Pakistan/Gulf under control of mumbai underworld dons.

More or less the cracked version.
At least not a legit version of OS using those keys.
If using crack,why go for payment?

The key might be legit.e.g.it might have been bought using stolen credit card details or it might be sold by some person having access to education/organization keys but in all these cases the money is not going to Microsoft so why bother paying anything at all.

@sohan_92 @Flash @kg11sgbg Guys few questions, How can a Window be "properly activated"using crack? @whitestar_999 I lost that link you gave me. Except ads (which I think could be blocked or disabled by few tweaks) what is the real difference between a paid activated windows and these free giveaways by MS?
I asked few people about the points that you raised, generating black money, stolen cards etc. What they said was that the thing stands true for movies which are pirated mostly in Porkistan and in the gulf countries but that is not true for Windows as people are busy watching camel porn there lol. Moreover I have a friend in Texas, he works in a reputed software company. After I purchased key for my pc, he said they get bulk keys for as low as Rs. 800 and some are left unused. One thing I can tell from my experience is that these politicians and super rich generate more black money in a day than the pirates will generate in a year. A thing to be noted is that there is no "Kala Dhan"in India as 99% notes came back to the banks ha ha.

Windows 7 + Loader by daz. But it is not a *ahem* but legit one which will give you lifetime activation and windows update.

There is no difference between "real paid windows 10" & "MS free giveaways windows 10". Your friend is right about getting bulk keys at discounted rates but these keys are not supposed to be further sold or to be used by any non-employee.The point is when money is not going to MS then why bother paying anything at all.If it makes you feel less guilty about using a pirated windows then a better way would be to use pirated windows & donate the money you were about to give to some random guy,to some charity.That way your money is at least going to do some good instead of filling the pocket of some guy.In either case MS gets nothing.

Why not? Usability/preference matters.
There are organizations which use XP even though Microsoft ended the support long back. And because of its ubiquitous nature, Microsoft even released a security patch for XP during "Wannacry" situation.

could not resist to reply .. even I'm sticking with windows 7 and will be until games are not compatible with win 7 anymore.

Right off the assembly line
Although Windows7 is not very popular now, I think Windows7 is always better than Windows 10 in every aspect
