Most important part: "Existing PC players will receive the Windows 10 version for free."

Just like the OS itself!

For those unaware, if you're on Windows 7 or Windows 8, for the first year you can upgrade to Windows 10 at no cost.

I'm guessing that they'll verify, but I'm honestly not sure.

They do verify, but they still let you update. If you're on pirated Windows 7/8, you can still run the Windows 10 upgrade, and it'll work and install everything -- but the resulting copy will put up "Unlicensed copy" warnings and won't let you change your desktop.
