Windows 10 Creators Update to hit only 13 handsets

Since Windows 10 Creators Update is now rolling out to PCs all over the world, hearing that this would soon happen for Windows 10 mobile users is not surprising. Sadly, Microsoft has decided to shrink the list of handsets that would get the official update, pushing aside some of the devices that received this update in its beta stage.

According to the blog post recently published by Microsoft's software engineer Dona Sharkar, "these are the Windows 10 Mobile devices we will officially support in the Windows Insider Program going forward:"

• Microsoft Lumia 550, 640/640 XL, 650, and 950/950 XL
• Alcatel Idol 4S and OneTouch Fierce XL
• SoftBank 503LV
• HP Elite x3
• VAIO Phone Biz
• MouseComputer MADOSMA Q601
• Trinity NuAns NEO 

For now, it looks like a few of the compatible handsets are not receiving the update, but Microsoft is aware of this and is working on fixing the issue.

The devices that received the beta will no longer get any future builds, but their owners can keep the latest software, knowing that any kind of support from Microsoft is no longer available.
