It seems that Microsoft will only be releasing the Creators Update for a limited number of Windows 10 Mobile handsets. Indeed, many of its Lumia devices will apparently be excluded from the list.
When Microsoft revealed the release date for its Windows 10 Mobile Creators Update last week, the careful wording of its announcement certainly raised an eyebrow or two. The company said that availability of the update « may vary by manufacturer, model, country or region, mobile operator or service provider, specific installed software, hardware limitations and other factors such as feedback from customers. »
While some of those caveats were to be expected, the long list of potential factors that might exclude certain devices raised questions about whether or not the update would actually be made available for all phones currently supported by Windows 10 Mobile. It immediately brought to mind the company’s original Windows 10 Mobile rollout in March 2016 , which reached a far smaller group of handsets than the company had originally promised.
