As known, Microsoft has scheduled to close the free Windows 10 update server on July 29th after a year of release in the market. Detailed instructions for updating Windows 10 have been provided in Mytour's article, inviting readers to refer.
However, both Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile are part of Microsoft's unified ecosystem. Therefore, many users wonder if they are obligated to update to the Windows 10 Mobile version from older versions like Windows Phone 8.1 before expiration.
The answer is no. According to Microsoft's representative, Dona Sarkar confirmed that Windows Phone 8.1 users won't be 'pressured' to upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile after the Windows 10 upgrade server closes.
Even if users have updated to Windows 10 Mobile, they can easily revert back to Windows Phone 8.1 using the technique of downgrading from Windows Phone 10 to Windows Phone 8.1 with the Windows Device Recovery Tool.
Previously, Microsoft didn't emphasize pushing Windows Phone users to upgrade to the latest Windows 10 Mobile version. To upgrade to the latest version, users will also need to use the Upgrade Advisor app. However, not everyone is familiar with this app.
For users in the Insider Preview community, Microsoft will soon have the latest Windows 10 Anniversary Update version available. Windows 10 was officially released on July 29, 2015. Since its release, Windows 10 has been highly favored by the user community.
