But without an official announcement from Microsoft, it’s very hard to predict when the new OS could land on your Windows Phone handset. And yet, if you live in France, this could happen as soon as next week.
French carrier Bouygues Telecom has confirmed for FraWin.com (via Neowin) that devices in their network will start getting the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile next week, with the company even providing a list of Lumia models that are scheduled to receive the new bits.
Included devices
Lumia 635, 640, 640 XL, 730, 735, 830, 930, 1520, and 532/535/540/636/638 will all be upgraded to Windows 10 Mobile, the carrier says, thus confirming that the majority of devices will be included in the first wave. Interestingly, only a few Lumia models appear to be left behind in this initial rollout, and the big news is that the most popular devices, including the flagships 930 and 1520, are among the first to be updated.
The version that the French carrier is expected to ship is 10586.63, which is none other than the latest insider build released by Microsoft to fast ring users earlier this week. If everything goes according to plan, the company itself could make the same build available for slow ring users too, before general availability that could be announced in the coming days as well.
At this point, Microsoft continues to remain tight-lipped, even though it is very clear that Windows 10 Mobile is just around the corner, especially after getting confirmation from so many carriers across the world.
Once again, we’ve reached out to Microsoft for more information on the planned rollout of Windows 10 Mobile and will update the article should we hear anything new.
