Microsoft Teases Windows 10 Mobile Launch As Rollout Is Expected to Start Today

pcappdate. Windows 10 Mobile is expected to debut today, and a new website released by Microsoft in anticipation of the release seems to confirm that this is indeed the case.

Microsoft has never provided us with anything more than an “early 2016” launch target for Windows 10 Mobile, so when the company publishes a website saying that “the latest and greatest Windows experience is now on Lumia smartphones,” it’s very clear that something is happening behind closed doors.

And that something appears to be the imminent rollout of Windows 10 Mobile, which, according to people close to the matter, is projected to begin on March 17 on select phones.

Not much is known about how the upgrade is going to be offered, but it appears that Microsoft might be aiming for a manual push at first, requiring users who want to download the new operating system to follow a few steps in order to get it. An automatic stage is expected to kick off later this year, but for the moment, details on when and how this would begin are missing.

Easy upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile
Microsoft claims on the new website that Windows Phone users will “enjoy a free and easy upgrade” when Windows 10 Mobile is officially released.

“Get ready for exciting new Windows 10 features on your Lumia. Take care of everyday tasks faster with an improved Action Center, enjoy a distraction-free reading experience with the Microsoft Edge browser, and do more on the move with universal apps like Maps, Calendar and Photos,” Microsoft says.

An official announcement that would provide all details, including the list of models getting the update in the first wave, is expected to be released later today. We’re pretty sure that some Windows Phone users are still skeptical that the upgrade is coming today, but it finally seems that it’s happening. It was a long wait, but it’s happening.
