Yesterday, someone tweeted a question at the official Lumia Twitter handle, voicing his concerns about future updates to a Windows smartphone he was considering buying. Here is how it went:
@Kalars07 We plan to upgrade all Windows Phone 8 devices to Windows 10 in the future 🙂

Microsoft responded to say that they plan to upgrade all Windows Phone 8 smartphones to Windows 10. All. That includes even the lowly Lumia 520. Good news for Windows Phone users.
Until it happens, don’t go rolling out the drums yet. Microsoft have earned themselves some reputation of abandoning older devices with no real technical reason but rather probably commercial ones to boost the sales of Windows Phone devices which I think didn’t quite help the perpetually nascent platform.
