As a result, Microsoft’s current list of Windows Phone 8.1 phones that support an upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile doesn’t include every single WP8.1 device ever sold.

According to a report, a source who knows Microsoft’s plans, Windows 10 was supposed to roll out today on several selected Lumia devices, on which the new software has been tested in the past weeks.
As we’ve said, the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app takes care of everything, so make sure you install it before everything else.
Windows 10 Mobile is Microsoft’s new mobile operating system.
When bringing the app to mobile phones we carefully considered each section of Twitter and how the user interaction translates from desktops and tablets. Because of the size of the update, a Wi-Fi connection is required for download and installation. After receiving a lot of flak for supplying an unfinished operating system on the flagship Lumia 950 and 950XL, it kept delaying pushing the update to other Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones.
Microsoft did not address whether a Windows 10 Mobile upgrade will eventually become mandatory for Windows Phone 8.1 phones.
Jason Ronald, principal group program manager for Microsoft Game Studios, revealed the Xbox One’s upcoming support for Windows 10 universal apps at this week’s Game Developers Conference, Business Insider reported on Thursday.
By launching its app for Windows 10 Mobile, it could potentially pull a major chunk of new users to join the blogging network, something it was missing out on previously. Interestingly, however, the flagship Lumia 1520 appears on T-Mobile’s list, but is absent from Microsoft’s.
Microsoft will use push notifications to promote the new OS at an unspecified later date, Blass said.
