Hi,

I have recently bought a Lumia 2520 tab that works on Windows RT 8.1.

I wanted to know if this Windows RT can be upgraded to Windows 10. If yes, then it would be really great. Else I will have regret for buying an operating system that has no future.

Hoping for your quick feedback.

Thank you.

Shiva

    The problem is at the time of the OP Microsoft had said virtually nothing about Windows RT and Windows 10. Very soon after MS held the Windows 10 event and even then what was said was very much an aside comment, very guarded and contained little detail. As of today about the biggest glimmer of hope is the fact that there will be a Windows 10 for the Raspberry PI, also an ARM device.

    Those of us used to the RT limitations would hardly expect Windows 10 RT to be fully functional, it is the dearth of detailed information from Microsoft that is the problem, quessworks by commentators is not enough. Yes the Answer is wrong and should be withdrawn, that is down to the mods.

    I agree 100%.  I have given up waiting. I've been too patient in the past with 3 other devices that were useless soon after launch from MS and this is the most costly. Track record for info is very bad and the millions with RT do deserve to find out what they are going to be offered since there is no decent trade in offer for them and some bought in to the ARM and cross compatibility mumbo jumbo. Now the devices are taboo and worthless too. I gave up after being around since the MS-OS/2 days and bought some different hardware, but will keep the RT for lack of any way to get rid of it just to see what does come down the road for it. The lack of info is very scary considering how many MS devices seemingly were forgotten and ignored in what should have been their prime.

    Also, it's already being reported that the new gen. apps wont even run on it - what is the good of keeping it really.

    Now we see the new Surface 3 I have even less hope. It has switched over to the Atom Processor and runs full Windows 8 which to me is a nail in the coffin for RT.

    A real shame because to me given support RT was and is an iOS beater. To a certain extent the issue has been solved for me because my Surface failed terminally. I did initially look to replace like with like but the device disappeared from the Microsoft Store and this lack of concrete information led me to go for the Pro3 instead. A really good device but bigger and heavier, I miss my little Surface RT

    I really fail to see the logic in killing off RT yet supporting Raspberry Pi although Microsoft have not actually admitted to the former, it is difficult to see any other outcome.

    There are reports that Microsoft will be offering an upgrade of Windows RT to Windows 10 this month (September 15).

    Is this true? If not please can you offer an update on the statement given 6+ months ago?

    Many thanks,

    BC
