Microsoft Changes Its Mind: Older Lumias Will Not Get Windows 10 Mobile by miketayo(op): 8:06pm On Mar 21, 2016

Microsoft finally announced the Windows 10 Mobile release to existing handsets, but about half of them won't get it anytime soon.

Windows Phone owners were already getting frustrated and losing their patience after several delays, and the latest news just adds more fuel to the fire. Yes, Microsoft acknowledged that it will start rolling out the Windows 10 Mobile update at last, but the list of eligible handsets is not very extensive.

Some Windows Phone-powered smartphones will get the treat sometime in the future, though Microsoft has yet to provide a definitive timeframe for the updates. Roughly 50 percent of active devices running Windows Phone, however, will not receive the update to Windows 10 Mobile "anytime soon."

The news comes from Alan Mendelevich, founder and CEO of AdDuplex.
So many Lumia fans have been waiting for this update, I know I have, only to get this info cls to the expected roll out date. We can all agree Microsoft has failed us once again.
Here are the list of supported Phones: Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Lumia 830, Lumia 735, Lumia 730, Lumia 640, Lumia 640XL, Lumia 638 1GB, Lumia 636 1GB, Lumia 635 1GB, Lumia 540, Lumia 535, Lumia 532, Lumia 435, and Lumia 430.
If ur phone is not on this list, you can join the windows insiders Program.
