Microsoft has begun the rollout of Windows 10 Mobile to Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones, nearly nine months after its initial release on tablets and desktop.
Owners of compatible devices – which include Microsofts own Lumia handsets, as well as the BLU Win HD range and Japanese manufacturer Madosmas Q501 smartphone.
“As Windows 10 delivers significant new innovations, many older devices are not able to successfully upgrade without an impact on the customer experience,” said Michael Fortin, CVP Windows and devices group at Microsoft. “Our goal is to only offer the Windows 10 upgrade to devices that we are confident can continue to deliver a good customer experience.” 
Users can download the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app from the Windows Store to check whether the upgrade is available for their device.
