Microsoft Windows 10 Lumia: No Windows 10 for All Lumia Smartphones

If you found your device on the list and want to upgrade, download the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app from the Windows Store to begin the upgrade process. Furthermore, it is expected that the upcoming device will release with the Windows 10 Redstone 2 operating system preinstalled. There were rumors that the update was going to be delayed by months.

The Verge has the complete list of Lumia phones that will get the Microsoft Windows 10 mobile update.

Windows Camera was updated today to version 2016.128.141.0, citing bug fixes and stability improvements as what's new.

Nevertheless, if the issue is fixed, even for a handful of users, that is fantastic news. Microsoft had also promised to support all Lumias that arrived since Windows Phone 8's debut, but, when the rollout finally started, only a limited number of smartphones were targeted. The list includes the entire Lumia range ranging from the Lumia 1520, Lumia 640, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 930, Lumia 730 and Lumia 735 to Lumia 532, Lumia 830, Lumia 535, Lumia 635, Lumia 540, Lumia 636, Lumia 638, Lumia 430, and Lumia 435.

Unfortunately, with Microsoft still yet to announce anything, the October release window also remains uncertain, and beyond that, it may also be a bit optimistic.

"As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience", Fortin explained. Microsoft said that the devices with lower hardware configuration were not eligible for Windows 10 upgrade.

With the arrival of the surface phone, many things are expected to change in the way Microsoft works.
