Windows 10 Update for Lumia 635 (512 MB Model) Availability

I would like to update my Nokia Lumia 635 with 512 MB of RAM to Windows 10 Mobile when it comes out. Unfortunately, the Microsoft page about their support for Windows Phones says they will only provide the update for the 1 GB RAM model.

I'm confused why other 512 MB models will get the update (for example, Lumia 520) and we won't, even though the hardware is superior on the 635. I don't want to buy a new phone when I just got this one less than 6 months ago.

Any official answers would be appreciated.

Same question. Planned obsolescence seems to be taking full effect yet again with this generation switch of Windows Phones. Who on earth has a 1gig RAM Lumia 635? If I even knew of such a device I would have gotten it instead of the 512RAM, because of similar limitations placed on the upgradeable state of W7 512mb RAM devices when W8 came out. This is bad news for most Lumia devices, since they will likely face a much longer wait time before even finding out that their device will not be upgradeable. I'm not excited about getting a fourth Windows phone in less than two years, just to stay up to date. I may have to switch Manufacturers, after staying through some very turbulent times dealing with these phones.

Windows 10 mobile is end of life! only some of the w10m capable and supported phones still get monthly updates. 

It's over end etc etc

Get a new phone ;)

We have had the 920's since it first came out in 2012 and I have insider on one of those. No obsolescence here.

Out of all the Lumia phones there are , I think, three or four have 512 mb ram. All low cost bottom of the line phones.  You get what you pay for.

These phones are questionable because of their specs, nothing else.  The hardwire on W7 phones prevented their upgrade.

Got to the store and get the upgrade advisor app.

That the only way to get the official upgrade to windows 10 for your 635.

You have to use that app,  just looking for updates under settings won't work to upgrade to windows 10.
