Windows 10 smartphones: Is your Lumia getting the upgrade?

There’s a new Windows 10 upgrade email scam going around that has the ability to take over your computer if you fall for it.

There are no new features in this update, but it does contain a ton of small fixes, so you should notice better overall stability and performance. It did suffer a $7.6 billion write-down and restructuring of the company’s Nokia mobile-phone segment, but it appears to have little effect on the success of Windows 10. By doing this, you will prevent Microsoft from getting random information from your computer. The scammers are taking advantage of Microsoft’s release last week of Windows 10.

The Redmond based software giant had released previews of the Windows 10 software development kits (SDKs) for testing among insiders in June. For instance, the most important thing is that the downgrade can be carried out only within the first 30 days after the Windows 10 has been installed.

Although Windows 10 is now downloading itself onto PCs around the world, we’re still waiting for Windows 10 Mobile to be released. All you have to do is click yes, and the change is made. The Settings screen also has same message when you try to attempt to downgrade to a previous Windows version. There are no prerequisites for installing the update, and you must restart your PC when the download is complete. It is delivered as a service and is kept automatically up-to-date with security updates and innovations. “After that first year, for devices not upgraded you would have to purchase a copy of Windows 10 through the Microsoft Store or Microsoft retail partners”, Microsoft told us in a statement. You just went through the few pages of the privacy statement and you agreed to it when you checked the terms of service.
