Microsoft will allow you to downgrade to Windows Phone 8.1 if you are not satisfied with the performance with Windows 10 Mobile

With the arrival of Windows 10 Mobile to a good handful of Microsoft devices, many of us promised ourselves very happy with what seemed to be a more toned future for the company, but It may not all be as pretty as it seems, at least not when it comes to the mobile landscape in Redmond.

"

And it is that after the absence, discouraging for many, of significant proposals and referring to Windows 10 Mobile in the latest Build, now a curious response has been added on social networks in which it is hinted that maybe the latest update released isn&39;t as robust as previous iterations."

The reason may be the failures of all kinds that some users are experiencing who updated their phones, be it restarts, operation with _lag_ or especially those that affect the loss of some applications such as the Lumia camera or panoramic photography (a good example is the Lumia 830)

With all this, since Redmond and in order not to further anger the affected owners, they have had no other option than to give in and allow those affected who are not satisfied onbeing able to _downgrade_ to Windows Phone 8.1, something radically new to the way Microsoft has handled updates to Windows Phone.

So users who choose to continue using a stable system, with a great design and fluid interface such as Windows Phone 8.1, will be able to stay with this version permanently indefinite.

"

A great idea but it has its buts, like everything in life, and that is that one disadvantage of this restoration process is that to _downgrade_ Windows 10 Mobile we will have to download, not only the corresponding version of Windows 8.1, but also we must do the same with two other _updates_ available"

A first step by Microsoft, at least as far as _smartphones_ is concerned (we'll see if they do the same with tablets and computers ) which suggests that everything that at first seemed fabulous in Windows 10 also has its lights and shadows.

In your case, if you're already trying Windows 10 Mobile and you're not happy, Would you be willing to go back to Windows Phone 8.1?
