From PC World: Windows Phone users who might have been nervously awaiting Windows 10 Mobile have been told they can relax. Unlike Microsoft’s aggressive tactics to migrate users from Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (which have ticked off customers), Windows Phone users won’t have to accept Windows 10 Mobile upgrades if they don’t want to.
Microsoft began rolling out upgrades from older Windows Phone 8.1 phones to Windows 10 Mobile on Thursday, with a list of about a dozen eligible phones. So far, Microsoft has asked users to download and launch an “Upgrade Advisor” app to trigger the download. It hasn’t always worked, however, as Microsoft said availability will vary by device manufacturer, model, country, and other factors.
The big difference between this rollout and that of its Windows 10 desktop cousin is that customers will have the option to decline it, a Microsoft spokeswoman said.
“We are going to start the roll-out via the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app to help ensure we deliver a high quality experience,” she said.
