How to Install Windows 10 on Lumia 820

Philip Anderson's Mother's Son

iThe "promise" if you can call it that made a long time before testing on the various phone models

Microsoft then published a definitive list  of the phone model that WOULD receive the W10 update

As you can see ALL X2x  models  WON'T receive the W10 update

Windows 10 is DEFINITELY NOT  going to be installed on any 820 device yours mine etc.

Despite the 820 being 3.5 years old, imho from what I read in this forum many phone models operated BETTER without the upgrade!

You don't lose anything you never had or then again, having it and losing functionality seems a poor trade off (answering the question NOT asked)

First to Ninth he said light heartedly NOT A ANDROID OR APPLE FORUM ....ETC


10th essentially all apps are just shortcuts so you can pin the url to the home page (I doubt that PayPal is always "open")

There will be another W10 phone later this year specifications ABOVE the 950, but as the 950 is a flagship phone whose price has fallen by 40+% since launch at best for the same price all you will get is a mid to mid high model in the two platforms should you choose


Here is a comparison

So you've heard about QVC.... that's just part of the story.

i was happy with win 8.1 until Mar 30th when messenger stopped working.

from what i can see, upgrading to win 10 will allow messenger to work again

I just updated recently a Lumia 635 and a Lumia 640, phones with lower hardware capabilities than my 820.. and it's just frustrating.

Now I can't and I don't use my Lumia 820 because there is no Facebook Messenger anymore for Win 8.1

And I need the messenger, it's one of the basic apps of every phone.

This is simply unbelievable to not allow download of the latest OS on a phone that is perfectly capable of running it and advise customers to buy another phone. I was so happy with my 820 for almost 3 years and none of the newer models I don't like. I have a Lumia  950 but is not the same thing. I want my 820 back again!

Microsoft please reconsider and allow Win10 on Lumia 820 - it's one of the best phones ever made! It's really a shame!

too right mate.  what a joke, microsoft says we are screwing you over but hey buy a new phone.

for a while i was able to get to Facebook  and messenger via the internet.  but last week it stopped working.  i suspect chrome would work but again, big brother aka Bill Gates wont let you install chrome on MY OWN PHONE

if this isnt sorted out i will NEVER buy another windows phone.

i also predict that if they continue downthiss path they will completely fail in the market of cell phones by 2020!

Facebook stopped support for their apps on 8.1 phones, not Microsoft.

You can not install Chrome because Google has not made the app for the phone.
