经过漫长的等待,微软终于开始向运行(Microsoft)Windows Phone 8.1的现有智能手机推出他们最新的移动操作系统——Windows 10 Mobile。并非所有的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机都会获得Windows 10 Mobile的更新,并且在那些将获得更新的智能手机中,并非所有智能手机都会立即收到更新。如果您想知道更新是否适用于您的智能手机,如果今天不可用,您何时可以获得升级,以及如何尽快获得它,请阅读本指南:
注意:(NOTE:)在制作本升级指南时,我们使用了在Windows Phone 8.1上运行的诺基亚 Lumia 930(Nokia Lumia 930),OEM/country变体Vodafone/Great Britain,这从来不是Windows Insider 计划(Windows Insider program)的一部分。
我的智能手机是否可以升级到Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)?
(Windows 10) 许多Windows Phone 8.1智能手机都配备了(Windows Phone 8.1)Windows 10移动版(Mobile),但并非所有智能手机都配备了 Windows 10 移动版。根据微软的说法, (Microsoft)Windows 10 Mobile作为智能手机升级的可用性因设备制造商(device manufacturer)、设备型号(device model)、国家或地区(country or region)、移动运营商或搜索提供商(mobile operator or search provider)、硬件限制和其他因素而异。
目前,这是有资格升级到Windows 10 Mobile的(Mobile)Windows Phone 8.1智能手机列表:Lumia 1520、Lumia 930、Lumia 640、Lumia 640XL、Lumia 730、Lumia 735、Lumia 830、Lumia(Lumia 532) 532、535 、Lumia 540、Lumia 635 1GB、Lumia 636 1GB、Lumia 638 1GB、Lumia 430、Lumia 435、BLU Win HD w510u、BLU Win HD LTE x150q 和 MCJ Madosma Q501(BLU Win HD LTE x150q and MCJ Madosma Q501)。
请注意,此列表可以随时更改。如果您没有在列表中看到您的设备,您应该定期查看此网页(check this web page),看看您的智能手机将来是否符合条件。
要检查您的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机是否可以升级到Windows 10 Mobile,您必须下载并安装一个名为Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor的(Upgrade Advisor)顾问应用程序(advisor app)。我们将在本指南的如何将智能手机升级到 Windows 10 移动版(How to upgrade your smartphone to Windows 10 Mobile)部分详细讨论整个过程。
升级到Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)有什么要求?
如果您有资格升级到Windows 10 移动版(Mobile),则在开始更新过程之前,您应确保您的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机满足一些重要标准:
- 您的智能手机正在运行Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1或更高版本。
- 您的智能手机有足够的可用存储空间(storage space)来下载和运行升级。Windows 10移动版(Mobile)很大,大约需要 1.4 GB 或更多。我们建议您确保智能手机上至少有两倍的可用空间。在大多数情况下,3GB 的可用空间就足够了。
- 您的智能手机已连接到无线网络(wireless network)。正如我们刚才所说,Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)很大,需要 Wi-Fi互联网访问(Internet access)才能获得升级。移动连接会很慢并且可能会产生高昂的成本。
- (Make)在开始升级过程之前,请确保您的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机至少有 80 % battery这不是来自微软(Microsoft)的建议,它只是来自我们,它基于我们过去的个人经验:如果您的电池在升级完全完成之前没电了,它可能会导致您的设备无用(device useless)。
将您的智能手机从Windows Phone 8.1升级到Windows 10 Mobile应该是一种流畅而直接的体验。以下是您需要从这里开始采取的步骤:
步骤 1(Step 1)。运行Windows 10 升级顾问应用(Upgrade Advisor app)
Microsoft发布了一款可帮助您升级到Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)的应用程序。它被称为升级顾问(Upgrade Advisor),它将:
- 检查Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)的更新是否适用于您的特定智能手机。
- 帮助(Help)释放智能手机上的空间,以便您可以开始升级。
为了获得升级顾问(Upgrade Advisor)应用程序,您可能会尝试在智能手机上启动商店(Store)并搜索(smartphone and search)它。不幸的是,现在这似乎不起作用,至少在我们的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机上不起作用。
但是,如果您使用智能手机访问此网页,则可以直接找到升级顾问应用程序: (Upgrade Advisor)Windows 10 升级顾问(Upgrade Advisor)。更令人困惑的是,该应用程序在Windows 应用商店网站上被命名为(Windows Store)UpdateAdvisor ,但在您安装该应用程序后,它的名称变为Upgrade Advisor。
商店(Store)加载应用程序页面后,点击屏幕底部的安装按钮(install)。
安装升级顾问(Upgrade Advisor)应用程序后,您会在应用程序(Apps)列表中找到它。点击其条目以启动应用程序。
您将看到一个欢迎屏幕(welcoming screen),该应用程序会告诉您它可以做什么。点击下一步(next)按钮以查看Windows 10 移动版升级(Mobile upgrade)是否适用于您的智能手机。
如果您的智能手机可以使用Windows 10 移动版(Mobile),您应该会看到这样的通知。要让您的智能手机启动升级所需的步骤,请点击以选中“启用 Windows 10 升级”("Enable Windows 10 upgrade")选项,然后点击下一步(next)。
Upgrade Advisor应用程序会检查您的Windows Phone 8.1需要的更新,完成后,它会告诉您“转到设置中的电话更新以下载并安装 Windows 10”("Go to Phone Update in Settings to download and install Windows 10 ")。点击完成(done)继续。
转到本教程的下一页,了解如何准备Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)以及如何安装更新本身。
步骤 2(Step 2)。为Windows 10(Windows 10) 移动版(Mobile)做准备
现在,您的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机应该已经开始下载升级到Windows 10 Mobile所需的文件。根据升级顾问(Upgrade Advisor)应用程序的要求,您现在应该打开智能手机的设置(Settings)。一种快速的方法是点击应用(Apps)列表中的设置(Settings)条目。
然后,滚动直到找到手机更新(phone update)条目并点击它。
您应该会看到智能手机如何下载Windows 10 移动版升级(Mobile upgrade)所需的文件。这些文件占用相当多的空间,您的智能手机需要一段时间才能将它们全部获取。另一个影响您获得它们的速度的重要因素是您的 Internet Wi-Fi连接速度(connection speed)。对我们来说,在罗马尼亚(Romania)这里,这个过程相当快,至少在伯尼·桑德斯看来(according to Bernie Sanders)是这样。🙂
下载所有更新后,您的Windows Phone 8.1智能手机将需要一点时间来完成“准备安装”("Preparing to install")过程。
最后,当一切准备就绪时,Windows Phone 8.1会通知您“已准备好安装更新”("An update is ready to install")。
在下一个屏幕上,您将被要求阅读并接受Microsoft 服务协议(Microsoft Service Agreement)。这是在您的设备上安装Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)之前您将看到的最后一件事。如果您已准备好继续安装,请点击接受(accept)按钮。如果您仍然需要时间考虑问题,请点击现在(not now)不推迟安装。
步骤 3(Step 3)。升级到Windows 10 移动版(Mobile)
接受Microsoft 服务协议(Microsoft Service Agreement)并点击接受(accept)按钮后,Windows 10 移动版安装(Mobile installation)将开始。
您的智能手机重新启动,一段时间后,它的屏幕上显示了两个旋转的齿轮。
半小时左右后,您的智能手机再次重启(smartphone reboots)。然后它将开始将您的数据从旧的Windows Phone 8.1 操作系统(operating system)迁移到新安装的 Windows 10 Mobile。坚持住(Hang),因为这需要一些时间。在我们的Lumia 930上,我们不得不再等 15 分钟才能完成迁移。
最后,Windows 10移动版(Mobile)启动并运行!现在是您(和我们)开始享受它带来的所有新功能的时候了。
结论
如您所见,将Windows Phone 8.1(Windows Phone 8.1)智能手机升级到Windows 10 Mobile的整个过程很容易完成。没有涉及复杂的步骤,一切都应该在不到一个小时的时间内完成。我们为Windows Phone 8.1(Windows Phone 8.1)智能手机用户提供Windows 10 Mobile已经等待了很长时间,但它终于发生了。现在是时候开始使用Windows 10移动版(Mobile)所提供的一切了。您是否和我们一样热切期待(Were)Windows 10(Windows 10)移动版?(Mobile)既然你已经把它放在智能手机上,你对它有什么感觉?
How to upgrade your smartphone from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile
After a νery long wait, Microѕoft has finally started to roll out their latest mobile operating sуstem - Windows 10 Mobile - to existing smartphones that are rυnning Windows Phone 8.1. Not аll Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones will get the update to Windows 10 Mobile and, out of those that will get it, not all will receivе it immediately. If you want to know whether the update is available for your smartphone, when you will get the upgrade if it is not available today, аnd also see how to get it sooner rather than later, read thiѕ guide:
NOTE: For making this upgrade guide, w e have used a Nokia Lumia 930 running on Windows Phone 8.1, OEM/country variant Vodafone/Great Britain, that was never a part of the Windows Insider program.
Is the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile available for my smartphone?
Windows 10 Mobile is coming to many Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones, but not to all of them. According to Microsoft, the availability of Windows 10 Mobile as an upgrade for your smartphone varies by device manufacturer, device model, country or region, mobile operator or search provider, hardware limitations and other factors.
For now, this is the list of Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones that are eligible to make the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile: Lumia 1520, Lumia 930, Lumia 640, Lumia 640XL, Lumia 730, Lumia 735, Lumia 830, Lumia 532, 535, Lumia 540, Lumia 635 1GB, Lumia 636 1GB, Lumia 638 1GB, Lumia 430, Lumia 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q and MCJ Madosma Q501.
Note that this list can change at any time. If you don't see you device among those in the list you should regularly check this web page and see whether your smartphone is eligible in the future.
To check whether your Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone can make the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile, you will have to download and install an advisor app called Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor. We will talk more about the whole process in the How to upgrade your smartphone to Windows 10 Mobile sections of this guide.
What are the requirements for making the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile?
If you are eligible to make the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile, before you start the update process you should make sure that your Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone meets a few important criteria:
- Your smartphone is running Windows Phone 8.1 GDR1 or later.
- Your smartphone has enough free storage space to download and run the upgrade. Windows 10 Mobile is large and it takes about 1.4 GB or more. We recommend that you make sure that you have at least double that amount of free space on your smartphone. 3GB of free space should suffice in most cases.
- Your smartphone is connected to a wireless network. As we've just said, Windows 10 Mobile is large and Wi-Fi Internet access is required in order for you to get the upgrade. A mobile connection would be to slow and would probably incur high costs.
- Make sure that your Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone has at least 80% battery before starting the upgrade process. This isn't advice from Microsoft, it's just from us and it's based on our past personal experience: if your battery dies before the upgrade is completely finished, it may render your device useless.
Upgrading your smartphone from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile should be a smooth and straightforward experience. Here are the steps you need to take from here on:
Step 1. Run the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app
Microsoft released an app that helps you make the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. It's called Upgrade Advisor and it will:
- Check whether the update to Windows 10 Mobile is available for your particular smartphone.
- Help free up space on your smartphone so that you can start the upgrade.
In order to get the Upgrade Advisor app, you would probably try to launch the Store on your smartphone and search for it. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be working now, at least not on our Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones.
However, you can find the Upgrade Advisor app directly, if you use your smartphone to visit this web page: Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor. To make things even more confusing, the app is named UpdateAdvisor on the Windows Store website but, after you install the app, it's name turns to Upgrade Advisor.
Once the Store loads the app's page, tap the install button from the bottom of the screen.
After the Upgrade Advisor app is installed, you will find it in your Apps list. Tap its entry to launch the app.
You will be greeted by a welcoming screen where the app tells you what it can do. Tap the next button to see if the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade is available for your smartphone.
If Windows 10 Mobile is available for your smartphone, you should see a notification saying so. To make your smartphone initiate the steps required for the upgrade, tap to check the option that says "Enable Windows 10 upgrade" and then tap next.
The Upgrade Advisor app checks for the updates your Windows Phone 8.1 needs and, when done, it will tell you to "Go to Phone Update in Settings to download and install Windows 10 ". Tap done to go ahead.
Go to the next page of this tutorial and learn how to prepare for Windows 10 Mobile and how to install the update itself.
Step 2. Prepare for Windows 10 Mobile
Right now, your Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone should have already started to download the files it needs to make the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. As requested by the Upgrade Advisor app, you should now open your smartphone's Settings. A fast way to do that is to tap on the Settings entry from your Apps list.
Then, scroll until you find the phone update entry and tap on it.
You should see how your smartphone is downloading the files needed for the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade. These files take quite a bit of space and it will take a while for your smartphone to get them all. Another important factor to how fast you will get them is your Internet Wi-Fi connection speed. For us, here in Romania, this process was reasonably fast, at least according to Bernie Sanders. 🙂
When all the updates are downloaded, your Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone will need a little time to go through the "Preparing to install" process.
Finally, when everything is ready, Windows Phone 8.1 notifies you that "An update is ready to install".
On the next screen, you will be asked to read and accept the Microsoft Service Agreement. This is the last thing you'll see before Windows 10 Mobile gets installed on your device. If you're ready to go ahead with the installation, tap the accept button. If you still need time to think things through, tap on not now to postpone the installation.
Step 3. Upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile
Once you have accepted the Microsoft Service Agreement and you've tapped the accept button, the Windows 10 Mobile installation begins.
Your smartphone restarts and, for a while, its screen displays two spinning cogwheels.
After half an hour or so, your smartphone reboots again. Then it will start migrating your data from the old Windows Phone 8.1 operating system to your newly installed Windows 10 Mobile. Hang in there, 'cause this will take some time. On our Lumia 930, we had to wait for another 15 minutes for the migration to end.
And finally, Windows 10 Mobile is up and running! It's time for you (and us) to start having fun with all the new features it brings.
Conclusion
As you see, the whole process of upgrading a Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone to Windows 10 Mobile is easy to do. There are no complicated steps involved and everything should be over in less than an hour. We've waited for a long time for Windows 10 Mobile to be made available to Windows Phone 8.1 smartphone owners, but it finally happened. Now it's time to start playing with whatever Windows 10 Mobile has to offer. Were you expecting Windows 10 Mobile just as eagerly as we were? What do you feel about it now that you've got it on your smartphone?
