According to a new statement, Microsoft has made on the 17th of December, existing Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 8.1 users will have to wait until early 2016 to receive the final update. Here is what the official Microsoft spokesman has said about the update: Back in October, Microsoft officials said that current Windows Phone users will be able to update to Windows 10 Mobile in December 2015. Now it’s said to be sometime in January 2016, which could also suggest that the company may be planning to release its mobile operating system during the roll out of the next Windows 10 “Redstone” build for Insiders time frame. It’s also unclear which handsets running Windows Phone 8.x will support the new mobile operating system and which features will be available for older phones. For example, Continuum for phones is an amazing feature in Windows 10 Mobile for multitasking, but it won’t be available on every phone, only on handsets with modern hardware, such as on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. After the update disaster between Windows Phone 7.5 and Windows Phone 8, Microsoft promised to bring Windows 10 Mobile to all devices currently running Windows Phone 8.1. Until today, this list is all we have: While many users will have to keep waiting a little longer, it’s probably good that Microsoft is taking its time to deliver the operating system, which hopefully will help to ship a fast, fluent, and stable experience.
