The aim is to take you (and myself) from 8.1 through to the very latest Windows 10 Mobile 'Fall Creators Update'. I've worked through all the downloads and steps, double-checking everything, adding steps for branches 17, and adding new screenshots where needed. In the instructions below, I'm leaning on my own articles from two or so years ago. Regardless, given, the Store position, the move for the 1020 (and 920) from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile is definitely worth a little pain for the enthusiast.

access to the fairly large pool of still-supported and in some cases still actively developed UWP applications.

the full suite of Windows 10 UWP applications available, including Office, OneDrive, and OneNote.

This is probably the number one competitor to Whatsapp, which is exiting all Windows phone support at the end of 2019.

a proper Telegram client, in 'Unigram'.

access to a working Store again for 2020 and beyond.

On the other hand, for the cognoscenti who decide to go all in on Windows 10 Mobile, even on such old hardware, there are some upsides, having: So sustainable in the short term, but not very satisfactory in the long term.

Is it conceivable that a Lumia 1020 owner might just opt to stay on 8.1 and stick with currently installed applications and damn the presence of a Store? Well, yes, but it's a fragile arrangement in that if the phone ever gets factory reset (troubleshooting, selling, etc.) then there's literally no way to bring applications back. That's far too much for Microsoft to even think of allowing the transition.

Battery life won't be great, as W10M is hungrier in terms of power than 8.1.Potentially another showstopper for some? (I know there's a very geeky registry hack to re-enable it, but that's outside the scope of even AAWP!) Glance screen is gone, since all the registry keys that the older phone hardware need are moved competely for Redstone.Brightness is stuck on 'Auto' - not a huge deal, since most people leave it on this anyway, but.You can't always use the camera in Skype UWP - the camera hardware is usually somehow locked to other camera applications, even if not running still.Losing HERE Maps/Drive and with a cosmetically crippled Windows 10 Maps as a 'replacement'.Losing stereo audio capture (this is huge).For the record, taking the 1020 'up' has the disadvantages of: I think you have to find the feature set and price that's right for you.ДЇor me I was after the latest, or the top shelf of the previous generation (x20's).I've been asked privately whether Microsoft could be persuaded to officially add the 1020 to the official Windows 10 Mobile compatibility list, but this won't happen - effectively downgrading the capabilities of the hardware just isn't something that could be allowed for regular users. I buy outright, so have no idea what restrictions you're facing with carriers.

My wife uses my old 820 and after some adjustment from her old Samsung WP7 phone seems satisfied. I've bought an L635 for my dad who just makes a few phone calls and receives emails. Pixel density doesn't equate to quality, as anybody with an old DSLR & great glass can tell you. While the camera has a 10MP sensor instead of the 20MP in the 930/1520, from what I saw in the test shots and ones I've taken myself, the 830's camera/software combo is better than the latter two. I can run all apps with aplomb, and performance is always quick and reliable. I haven't used the FullHD 5' on the 930 to compare it, but the 830 is a big step up from my past phone. The screen is big and friendly and the jump from 4.3' to 5' makes the letters large, clear and easy to use.

I was disappointed that the Heењњortana! feature won't be included in the L830, as it relies on the Snapdragon 800, and the 830 has the SD400. I've been really impressed with the battery life in comparison with my previous L820. I just bought an L830 a couple of weeks ago.
