Build 10525 isn’t just a typical bug fix release: Microsoft has updated Windows 10’s color options, allowing users to customize the look of the Start menu, Action Center, Taskbar and Title bars to better suit their preferences.
So, if you’ve ever downloaded a game or some software without actually purchasing it first, then you might end up with that game, program, or piece of hardware becoming useless.
Planning to download Microsoft Windows 10 then beware it comes with another warning and this time it is for the pirated games or counterfeit software on your system.
This big change to Windows where it can delete your pirated games had not been noticed by anyone for quite some while. However, there hasn’t been any clarification on what is meant by unauthorised hardware.
It’s interesting to see that both pirated games and peripherals are highlighted.
Windows 10 users may want to focus their attention more on what data Microsoft receives from them.
Here’s the skinny: a paragraph in Microsoft’s terms and conditions has been found which appears to give the software company the ability to stop people from using things that weren’t legally sourced. “You may also be required to update the software to continue using the Services”. Which doesn’t explain exactly what Microsoft would consider “unauthorized”.
The company main aim is to mould Windows 10 O.S to work on each and every device irrespective of input variety or size etc.
However, in this new updated agreement, we are yet to figure out how would Microsoft be determining whether or not you’re running pirated software.
