After months of anticipation and a mix of official and internally communicated delays, Microsoft’s long-awaited Windows 10 Mobile upgrade is on the eve of being deployed. The company will announce its same-day availability on March 17, VentureBeat cited a person familiar with the company’s plans as saying.
Legacy in-market devices selected to receive the upgrade will at first need to initiate it manually. This is known as the pull model, the news agency says.
The specific Nokia- and Microsoft-branded Lumias approved for the update are an even more closely guarded secret, and will not be revealed until a Microsoft announcement on March 17, according to the briefed individual.
