Finally you can fire up the app and it will check if your device is compatible with the update and you will be able to download the Windows 10 upgrade which is around 1.4 GB of download.
Microsoft is also offering a free Update Advisor app that can help you check for updates and prepare your phone for the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade by clearing space on your phone's internal storage.
Windows Phone users have been anxiously waiting for the official Windows 10 Mobile upgrade to be rolled out for Windows Phone 8.1.
Although Windows Phones with 512MB of RAM can now access test builds of Windows 10 through Microsoft's Insider program, the company said on Twitter that it has no plans to bring a stable version to users.
That being said, upgrading a supported device to Windows 10 Mobile is not all that complicated. To get it, open up the Settings app on your Windows Phone, scroll down and open "Phone Update" and check for updates to download the OS. Following this announcement, Microsoft has promised that it's going to release an "exciting update" for Windows 10 Maps soon.
Windows 10 Mobile: What is it?For existing Windows Phone 8.1 users, Windows 10 Mobile includes support for new features. You will not be able to use the phone during the installation.
The most popular Windows Phone devices that aren't getting the upgrade are Lumia 520 (which was the best-selling handset powered by WP ever released), Lumia 630, and Lumia 625.
Naturally, if you do decide to go ahead with the update, you should probably do a backup first.
Also, the update will feature the new Edge browser for the mobile app, and instant access to more stuff than earlier in the action center of the mobile OS. Once the app sends a prompt saying the phone is "Ready to upgrade", users just need to tap on "Done". You may choose to install the update immediately or postpone it for a more convenient time.
