I have read the March 2016 article here. Is the procedure still valid, or simplified, since the several releases / updates of Windows 10 Mobile?
I have a Nokia Lumia 920 that has WP8.1 Denim, all updates done. Finally managed to get the Upgrade Advisor to download, and it tells me that this phone isn't suitable - and gives a very abbreviated list of Microsoft Lumia phones that qualify.
My own Microsoft Lumia 640XL Dual SIM upgraded easily, despite 8Gb phone space.
Hi !
If Microsoft decided not to support certain phones then there`s nothing you can do about , they may have some reasons behind
You can start a discussion here https://forum.xda-developers.com/lumia-920/general but I`m affraid that this won`t change anything but at least you might get more oppinions
Cheers !

Hey there,
I plan to buy a Nokia Windows Phone (Lumia 800 or 900) in early 2012. Is there any information what will happen when Microsoft releases Windows Phone 8? Will Nokia upgrade the "old" Lumia Phones?
There is no information yet about current devices' compatibility, but it does not make sense to leave them out. It should support Apollo.
Windows Phone "8" is just the update version. 8 = Apollo. Just like 7.5 is Mango and so forth. Its still Windows Phone and all Windows Phones should support every update.
I guess it will be available via Zune as Mango.

1)
Nokia has no role to play in regards to basic OS updates. This is very different from Android. Microsoft is the only company with the power to decide which devices get which updates. So far, every device has received every OS update. Carriers have the power to delay the distribution of OS updates to devices on their network, but even they can't delay an update indefinitely.
2)
As others have mentioned, we don't have an official statement from Microsoft on this topic. To me, this indicates that WP7 generation hardware will not be getting WP8. I suspect Microsoft would have said so by now if the opposite were true.

That's if Microsoft have even decided yet! I imagine they're keeping quiet - remember the HTC HD2?

There is one more thing already has news of some jailbreak for Windows Phone 8, especially the line of Nokia Lumia?
Thank you for your attention
i personally have installed it and everything works right don't know the version though. As for jail-breaking the phone its not called jail-breaking that's for apple. Its simply called unlocking and no one has been able to yet. when there is a way the development part of the forum on the windows 8 would light up with roms and explanations on how to unlock the Nokia phones. Im waiting on it too and as with many others.

well, i would want the update 2, not the 10
The update you search for in reality is called "Windows 8.1 August Update" and can't no longer get downloaded from Microsoft: links are dead.
