Microsoft has finally rolled out the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade to select Windows Phone 8.1 devices.
Here’s the current list of phones and devices that can upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile:
Lumia 1520, 930, 640, 640XL, 730, 735, 830, 532, 535, 540, 635 1GB, 636 1GB, 638 1GB, 430, 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q, and MCJ Madosma Q501.
Window 10 Mobile brings new features to new and existing supported devices like Windows Hello, refreshed UI, Continuum, Edge browser, Cortana, more functional Action Center, and support for newer apps.
To check if the upgrade is available for your phone and install the upgrade, go to the Store, install the Upgrade Advisor app, run the app to see if the update is available, and then select Enable Windows 10 upgrade.

I updated my Lumia 636 yesterday. It seems to come in two parts, first an update to 10586.107, and then when you check for updates again, another (just as long) update to 10586.164. Seems to work fine for the most part. It took about 5-6 hours total, though.
The new “Groove” music player is really horrible, though. It doesn’t read my mp3 tags or album art.
No love for 630 :(
yeah T_T
done updating my nokia lumia 1520 to windows 10. more than 1 gig. almost 2 hours updating.windows 10 mobile version 1511 os build: 10.0.10586.107. andun pa din un live tiles nya from windows 8.1 i was hoping for a full windows 10 like when i updated my hp stream 8. wla un windows start button na when u press it the apps and tiles will appear from the start screen like in the 950xl. well at least baka me updates pa na susunod. sa office 365 you can only view files but not edit them. you need to buy the paid office version first.
– hi, bat hinde mo pa tinuloy sa 10586.164 BUILD, punta sa phone update, mas stable ang build na ito.
Hargie, yup updated na to 164 yesterday morning. Mas maging super smooth sya.
Are you talking about continuum? Because only the newer phones support it. And it won’t be like your HP Stream 8 or any other PC, because it’s not a PC, it’s still a phone. Wala talagang start button yan, wala rin start button yung 950XL ko unless I use Continuum. As for Office, it’s weird, it’s supposed to be free on mobile eh, or at least last I heard…. baka binago nanaman nila…
yup, the continuum. the windows site was bragging about it and the office as a productivity tool sa updates. sabi nila madami pa mga updates to follow. parang malabo na ibigay nila un sa mga old phones.its like they are herding the users to buy the full windows devices like the surface. pero ang mahal pa din.
Sayang naman hindi kasama yung Lumia 925.
Gaano kalaki kakainin na storage?
You may need to have up to 1.5GB free phone memory to ensure that the software update goes smoothly.
