    Clearly, in this case too, the update will be gradual and will strictly depend both on the country in which you are located and on the operator with which the device is branded; for now, we can confirm the availability of Windows 10 Mobile in the city for Lumia 930 and 830, both are not branded.

    For the occasion, Microsoft has published a dedicated app, also widely announced, which will notify you when the upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile is available for your device and will guide you through the entire process.
