Is someone here who didnt get the Windows 10 upgrade popup?

[Blade800]

Hey

I just want to ask if everyone got the message to upgrade or I am the only one who dont. Maybe its because I dont have licensed version but as far as I know Microsoft said that even pirated copies can upgrade for free. So is there someone with unlicensed version of Win 8.1 who got the message? And if yes how ?

None of it worked. The code thing just popped up cmd window and it was running the same code over and over again and doing nothing.

There was a misunderstanding when MS said that. Legally (keyword; legally) licensed copies would get the prompt. There's a KB update for it. Having saying that, I haven't gotten the notification on my Toshiba Encore.

You can upgrade for free, yes but it doesn't mean you will get a validated in the process. So in essence nothing has changed.

Maybe or maybe the lawyers and accountants stepped in. It makes sense as it puts everyone one the same level playing field and they don't have issues with people running vulnerable machines.

I haven't gotten the message for it on my officially licensed windows (8.1 Bing). I have no clue why either. The same can be said for my laptop.

Yup, Profits and Stockholders come first above all else in a large public entity like Microsoft. In some cases such practises become toxic (i.e dell which is why they went private - not saying there weren't a lot of "politics" going on in the background)

Same here, I setup 5 VM's with some of my Windows 7 and 8 licenses, with a simple script, I got the prompt right away (converting some of my licenses to Win 10).

My Samsung Slate 7 tablet (came with Windows 8 Pro from the factory), it will not show up no matter what I do. Tried the script and assorted other things and it will not show up...

My WIndows 7 desktop, it does not show up but, I could care less, as I use Windows Media Center on that machine so it stays on Windows 7, thanks Microsoft.

I got in on my Windows 7 desktop but not my laptop with Windows 8.1 with Bing.

Actually I dont think its a bad way of dealing with people who have unlicensed copies. And I am not biased or something cause i am one of them.
In the past and nowadays too companies want to fight against piracy but MS took this the other way and they were like "do what you want were not gonna stop you anyway" and they are right. They know they cant do anything about it so why not go the positive way? I think that this is the only way that they can make some pirate buy a lincesed copy in the future. Why would stockholders be butthurt about it? They know MS is doing billions anyway and If I dont buy Windows I already have atleast 2 products from MS so I gave them my money anyway. So is it true that they wont support those unlicensed versions? If so I am dissapointed I thought its a great idea how to deal with people.

I didn't have an issue on my Toshiba. I had already reserved my copy before WC had even reported it. However, my father has almost the same laptop (he got his when he saw mine except he upgraded to a touch screen), and he didn't get one.

Didn't get a pop up on my Surface Pro 3.

I tried all the tricks and tips listed online but what did it for all three of my computers was reinstalling the update and a quick reboot.

For me the Upgrade Notification and the small Windows icon on my taskbar took 3 days to pop up after I have installed the KB something update.
