No they are legal. It is just an upgraded Windows 7 or 8 license.

Look at the answer on Microsoft forum. What does "legitimate" mean to you? The fact that the system will work with this key does not mean that you have the right to use Windows legally.

Microsoft allowed those licences to upgrade. They are most definitely legitimate.
