Microsoft released Windows 10 Mobile for some Windows Phone 8.1 devices just yesterday. In case you don’t know, Windows 10 Mobile is available to the Lumia 1520, 930, 640, 640XL, 730, 735, 830, 532, 535, 540, 635 1GB, 636 1GB, 638 1GB, 430, 435, BLU Win HD w510u, BLU Win HD LTE x150q, and the MCJ Madosma Q501. As you can see, Microsoft didn’t release the OS for some of the major Lumia devices, including the Lumia 1020, 925 and the 920 which disappointed a lot of users. If you are waiting for Microsoft to release a second wave of updates for these devices, we have some bad news for you: Microsoft is not planning a second wave of updates for Windows 10 Mobile:
@hpityu There are no plans for a second wave. ^JH

According to Microsoft, the company isn’t delivering Windows 10 Mobile for these devices due to a higher rate of performance issues:
