...what would be more efficient way to achieve that than offer Windows 10 for free, even to users who have illegal copies of the previous ones?

An innocuous looking Windows "Security Update" will get picked up by many more PCs than Windows 10.

Also of course you are correct, however Wintel sees the writing on the wall.

BRICS nations are developing in house processors and OS now, focus is open source.

It's a killer, because Linux has been killed by hardware monopolies, mobile and no HW monopoly + open source = game changed.
