17 March, 2016
The update is on its way over-the-air to some handsets that have been on Windows Phone 8.1 so far.

        What about lumia 920 device?? Will it get windows 10 update. Coz I have checked in update advisor,it is showing YOUR PHONE IS NOT SUPPORTED FOR THE UPGRADE TO WINDOWS 10.
        Please do confirm me whether I will get update via OTA or I have to do it in preview wat.

          Carol, 21 Mar 2016I wrote something about bugs and glitches. Anyway, have you... moreForgot to mention, there is no Lumia recovery available now, the page has been taken over by the windows recovery tool. The MS is just taking credits of the other apps like HERE. I heard they are just importing the HERE's data to their Microsoft Map app. I think it is the same that happened with the camera too,but that failed. One of the best features of the lumia camera was its Rich dynamic capture. I must say that the Dynamic range of that feature was incredible on my 1520. That is not working anymore with the new 10 update. While a lot of others take into the account of the 10's UI, I badly miss the Lumia camera app. I am helpless here..

I am not having any glitches in using any other apps or the phone itself. The camera and a whole lot of its features got damned by this update. Would a reset help anyway? The rest of the things are smooth other than the camera and the battery drain. Oh my !! I totally ran into a bottleneck..

I don't think there are so many problems with the system. As i've said, the system needs quite some time to accomodate the device. Anyway, if you wanna roll back, their is only one posibillity and is safe;). It is called Lumia software recovery tool. Keep in mind it is server based. So sooner or later wp 8 will probably be gonne...

                This WIN10 update simply screwed my 1520. The Rich dynamic feature turned just into a name. No effects whatsover..The finishing touches in this mode takes forever to process which is a pain in the ace. The upgraded camera app just sux. Don't know the app has been mofified my Microsoft or not. The quality just got degraded. The pics are grainy and the auto focus hunts a lot unlike 8.1 The turtle slow motion in video is pitch black dark even in the daylight. The battery standby alone remains the same. But if I'm using any apps, it starts to drain out significantly. I have no hopes the Microsoft will bring any fix for these bugs. It took an year for them to roll update into all the older phones. Now to fix it, that would be another year, while there will be Windows 11. I regret everything about this update. I'm gonna roll back to 8.1, if there is a safe chance.

                    Using Windows 10 in Lumia 535. The update took around 1:30 hours. It takes a little time to adjust, but it's fast,fluid and beautiful later!
                    After updating, the phone turned out to be slow. Heating and battery draining were another issue. But after two days, the phone adjusted and the changes were easily noticeable! The phone turned out to be much faster than before and no lag was noticed. Battery is performing as usual and heating is compatible.
                    Windows 10 is performing good!

                        I'll stick to my Nokia 730 to 8.1 for a few more weeks. I don't think I'm ready to deal with the battery drain issue some users are observing with Windows10.

                          ATENTION. I have read a lot of problems from users, i don't know why ms does not inform people about this but they should. Windows 10 changes a lot of things and cause of that an update without formatting the device before or after will lead a lot of people into uneccesery bugs. Second also, cause of that, after the update you should let the device do it's programing for at least 2 hours (i recomand even 12, so update before bad). The system will take some time to adjust and settle down, meaning you will see some strange glitches and restarts (when unlucky) before it does. From my experience the system will take about a week to really acomodate with the device. You should let the battery drain till 5% is left about 3 times
