It was a particular concern on the Lumia 950, as it didn't feel anywhere near as slick and responsive as I was expecting. However, in both cases, I ran into some quite major performance issues, as the operating system felt very sluggish in day-to-day use. How does it run?Īt the moment, I've only had a chance to test Windows 10 Mobile on the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. Unfortunately, there's no set time scale on when which phones will receive the update, but so far Microsoft has confirmed that the following handsets will be eligible for Windows 10 when it does finally arrive: the Microsoft Lumia 435, the Microsoft Lumia 535, the Nokia Lumia 635, the Microsoft Lumia 640 and 640 XL, the Nokia Lumia 735, the Nokia Lumia 830, and the Nokia Lumia 930. However, bear in mind that not all Windows phones will support every last feature of Windows 10, as most of the big ones like Continuum are limited to the Lumia 950 and 950 XL. Secondly, you'll need at least 8GB of internal storage available to download the update. You'll be notified when an update is available for your phone, but in the meantime there are a few things you can do to make sure your handset's ready. Firstly, your phone needs to be running the latest Lumia Denim update available for Windows Phone 8.1 (OS version 9.341 or higher). It's not just new Microsoft phones which will run Windows 10, as a wide selection of Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 handsets released over the last two years will be eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 over the coming months. Here's everything you need to know about Windows 10 Mobile and how to get started.

We had an early glimpse of Microsoft's new smartphone OS earlier in the year during its Insider Preview program, but now we've had a chance to test the full and final software thanks to the release of the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL, including some brand-new features such as Windows 10 Continuum and Microsoft's new iris-scanning security system, Windows Hello. Windows 10 has finally arrived on mobile phones.
