++ the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumia mobile phones is discontinued, but many of them are still in action and competitive. In my opinion, the timing for their launch alongside the first versions of Windows 10 mobile has been a problem (later versions of Windows 10 mobile are more competitive). I compare the path of Microsoft Lumia phones with the path of Mercedes F1 Team. If you have perseverance, you can win, but you need to have realistic intermediary goals. You must not be number one from the start, but rather be on the field, with competitive, distinctive devices (1% market share can be achieved with the core fans of Microsoft Windows). 1% is not a small number of users & translates to even more when we focus on Windows users. So my question is for Microsoft & fans // is it possible to continue the manufacturing process of Microsoft Lumias for the fans of the brand & Windows ? // ++  #theWindowsthatneversleeps +

    It generally has to do with CPU architecture issues.

    For example, many (many!) years ago, I was working for a man whose franchise business relied on software provided to his firm by the parent company. He was upset that I couldn't run an accounts payable program on his business computer when the parent company said that he could.

    When I hacked the program to look at the code - no great feat since it was written in BASIC - I found ASSEMBLER subroutines in the code. These subroutines essentially do direct addressing of CPU and memory architecture which can be very efficient in some ways, but not in others. Put simply, the program was written to be run on an IBM PC-XT while the business had a PC-AT; 2 different CPU classes. If the program ha been written entirely in BASIC, it would have worked, but not as provided.

    The problem isn't with ARM, it's with the code and what CPU's it's been designed for.

    you might. But Microsoft doesn't and the overwhelming number of mobile phone users definitely don't. Its a dead operating system.

    ...Speaking of which, I happen to have an extra Nokia 1520 running Windows 10 (Locked to AT&T) which I don't use any more as I got a newer unlocked Nokia 1520 (was New In Box and the seller kindly put Windows 10/Edge on it before they shipped it) but I'd kind of like to try to put Android on my spare phone just to see if it can be done. Has anyone tried putting Android on a Windows phone? If so...how?

    Thanks...

    Thank you for this. I was able to download it again. I'm not sure why it disappeared. I just unpinned the tile from start and it didn't show up in the list of installed programs. But somehow it reappeared when I went to Settings/storage and found it there. But thank you again.

    The Outlook Mail and Calendar app should be in the Store. Is your phone running Windows 10 Mobile? The Store is still functional. Download a copy. Ensure your Lumia 640 XL is running Windows 10 Mobile Version 1607 or later. You can see that in Settings.
