These are the smartphones where Windows 10 will appear first

Windows has now released its latest OS in Windows 10. But it's held off on the mobile version.

Only now has the full list of phones that will receive the update hit the interwebs.

Windows 10 for Lumia smartphones will begin to roll out for free to handsets "when available" according to Microsoft.

The first smartphones to get Windows 10 will be: Lumia 430, Lumia 435, Lumia 532, Lumia 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 640, Lumia 640 XL, Lumia 735, Lumia 830 and Lumia 930.

Windows 10 for smartphones will bring plenty of the features that the desktop version offers. For example web browsing will be done using the Microsoft Edge browser and media handled using Photos.

Calendar and Maps will also be found on the smartphone software making synching between computer and mobile effortless, according to Microsoft.

Office and Outlook on Windows 10 for phones should also make jumping between files and emails or sharing across devices a doddle.

Since the app development process for Windows 10 phones and computers is the same, expect to see plenty more apps appearing soon.

When the update arrives your Windows phone will need to have Lumia Denim installed in order to update. Anything older that can't run this will likely not be updated. There is the chance that Microsoft will update more Lumia handsets than the ones listed, but nothing official confirms that yet.
