Minimum you will have to purchase a key. best bet would be to obtain a new copy with valid key and install new, just in case the pirated copy was modified to contain a virus/trojan embedded into the software. The upgrade depends on what operating system you are upgrading and to which operating system you are upgrading to. from 98 to xp all you need is the old 98 disk. from vista to 7 you must start the installation from within the version of windows to be upgraded.
What is the difference between upgrading and updating?
updating means to bring up a small or joint part of any technology (renovate it),but upgrading in all or many parts of it ,so brings to a new generation. Updating is basically patching the existing software. It might add some new features, but for the most part it is updating to newer, stable, secure code. Example: Windows 7 Updates, which are released every month, this does not give you Windows 8 or 10, it just patches the current operating system and installed components. Upgrading is installing a new version. This is equivalent to upgrading Windows 7 to 8 or 10. A whole new operating system is installed. Same rules apply to all software, not just operating systems.
