Video on the topic

For active smartphone users, updating the operating system is extremely important. important issue, since developers are gradually making the platform more stable, more practical and simply more attractive in appearance. If we are talking about the Windows Phone system, then today it has lost all its positions, and the percentage of users is reduced to a minimum. Despite this, the OS still receives certain updates. Moreover, it is important to pay attention to the Windows 10 Mobile platform, which has lost many of the shortcomings of the original system and is now actively used by many users.

Update Windows Phone

First of all, it is worth noting that often a notification about a possible system update arrives on its own. To do this, you just need to lower the notification shade and accept all the proposed actions.

Otherwise, you can go to “Settings” and select the “Update” section. After clicking on the “Check notifications” button, you will know whether there are fresh updates. Also in this section you can set up a daily check for updates. For example, you can set it to 10 am.

How to update Windows phone

If the update is present, you should remember some requirements related to the operation of the mobile device.

• First of all, the smartphone must have enough charge to carry out the update (often more than 70%). It is advisable to have a full charge, since updating takes a lot of charge, especially if the device is no longer new.
• When updating it is important to use Wi-Fi network, since large updates can take up a lot of traffic mobile network, or even send the owner of the smartphone to the list of debtors. So-called minor updates, which are 2-3 MB in size, can also be downloaded via a mobile network.
• It should also be free space on the device memory. If your smartphone has a memory card slot, then updates can be downloaded to this storage medium.

When an update is available for installation, just click on the “Install” button, after which the phone will reboot in the appropriate mode. Typically the system installation process takes about 10 minutes, but sometimes longer if it is a major update. After installation, the smartphone will reboot, and then applications and other information will be adapted to the new version of the platform.

If during the update the smartphone freezes (there is no progress for several minutes), then you need to simultaneously hold down the volume down and power buttons, vibration should occur, which will lead to the device rebooting.

Although Windows has long abandoned development mobile version OS, a lot of phones continue to use it. And strangely enough, but a huge part of them still is on Windows Phone 8.1. Today I will share with you a working method on how to update your phone to Windows Phone 10 officially and receive updates over the air even in 2017 (since support for 10 remains to this day).

The method I found is very simple: does not require installation of special software and dancing with a tambourine, everything is done in three stage:

• Registration on insider.windows.com
• Selecting update intensity

The only one minus— it is not suitable for all old smartphones. The photo below shows the (official) list of phones that can receive Windows 10 Mobile over the air.

Despite the fact that this site has not been updated for a very long time, the list is really current and each of the smartphones can use Windows Phone 10 and even today receive minor updates. Therefore, if you find your device in this list, then follow our instructions further.

Sign up for the Windows Insider program

It was created for testers and programmers, and when registering you will have to choose one of the options: developer, tester or Windows fan. The honesty of the choice is not particularly important here, since the firmware is the same for everyone.
