Windows 10 was released to the public on 29th July 2015 after more than 10 months of its beta releases (Windows Technical Preview—now Windows Insider Program). The whole features of the insider program can be found here.

Prior to this public release, Microsoft provided a way of easy upgrade (by reserving) when Windows 10 is eventually realeased. Essentially, this is a Windows 10 reserve software which will "download Windows 10 to your device and notify you when it’s ready". However, not all devices were able to get this Windows 10 reserve software software—mine is a good example. Nevertheless, this is not the only way to install windows 10 0n your device; there is another way.
How to Install Upgrade from Windows 7 and 8 to Windows 10 Without the Reserve Software
Before proceeding, just check out the system requirements of Windows 10 to ensure that your device is supported.

You should also ensure that your device is plugged to a power source as the whole process will run into hours.Upgrading to Windows 10 has been designed in such a way that there would be no data loss but as an added layer of security, you can backup your data.

Visit this link to download Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Remember to download the right copy based on the architecture of the current windows you are running.

Launch the software (it requires admin privilege) and you should see this:

Depending in the speed of the connection, the download could take just a couple of minutes or worse still, hours.The next step after downloading is verification, which much quicker.

Afterward, Windows 10 installation media would be created.

And there would be the preparatory process.

Choosing what to keep.

Then it will check for updates. This should give you a general idea of the nature of updates is in Windows 10—you don't have the right to reject updates. "Windows 10 Home users will receive updates from Windows Update automatically when it’s available. Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to postpone updates. The amount of time that Windows 10 Pro users can postpone updates is limited.," says Microsoft.

The option to Keep personal files, apps and Windows settings is pre-selected and I am going on with it.

After this, the system will restart several times (mine was more than thrice).

1.Copying files
2. Installing features and drivers
3. Configuring settings

After loading, the lock screen (which is similar to that of Windows 8.1) would be displayed. Enter your password to continue.

The final auto set ups.

I was using a partially free subscription so I didn't take notice of the data consumed, but from the size of the illegal iso file I saw online; I will advice you to budget about 4GB of data.

My advice is to try the upgrade; if it turns out that the OS is not genuine, the worst that could have is that Microsoft would not allow you to continue with the update.

Additionally, you can read the information found in this link https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/howtotell/Software.aspx#Packaging, it will tell you how to know if the OS is genuine or counterfeit.
