ms_upgrade_advisorThe Windows 10 Mobile update is expected to be released in the near future. Now we know some of you guys might be holding an older phone, so the question is will your phone be compatible and eligible for the update? For example we know that the HTC 8X will not be getting the update, but will yours?

The good news is that you won’t have to guess anymore because Microsoft has since revealed an app that lets you check. Dubbed the Upgrade Advisor, this app basically lets users know if their phones are eligible for the update. It seems that the app will even go as far as helping users free up space on their phones in the event that there isn’t enough.

According to Microsoft’s description of the app, “The Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app will tell you if your Windows 8.1 phone is eligible for upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. It can also help free up space on your phone so you’re ready for the upgrade. When you open the app, it checks your phone and lets you know if it’s eligible to upgrade, if an update is required before you can upgrade, or if your phone can’t be upgraded.”

At the moment it seems that while the app is listed on Microsoft’s website, it can’t be downloaded yet but we expect that it should soon be made available.
