Windows 10 Mobile arrived on Nokia Lumia 636 finally

I have three Nokia Lumia phones on my hand (Nokia 636, 525 and 520). Two of them (520 and 525) already install Windows 10 Insider Preview for a long time ago and keep receive update to taste the Windows 10 Mobile in the first place.

It is good to see the Windows 10 Mobile release to old Lumia phone for production finally, I feel luck that my Nokia 636 able to upgrade, but my 520 and 525 cannot.

After few days using the Windows 10 Mobile on Nokia 636, it is better user experience than using the Insider Preview on 520 and 525. (Hopefully, Microsoft will get some promotion for those Windows Phone 7/8.1 users to replace their Phone to Native Windows 10 phone)

Please connect WiFi before upgrade and also make a backup of your phone.

You need to click the check phone update again to upgrade the phone from 10.0.10586.107 to 10.0.10586.164
