If you own a Windows Phone and it has less than 8GB of internal storage, don't expect it the forthcoming Windows 10 Mobile software update.

Microsoft has quietly mentioned in one of the many Windows 10 information pages that Windows 10 Mobile won't be available for devices that have 4GB of internal storage (or officially 'at least 8GB'), whether a microSD slot is present or not.

Although, "modern" Windows Phone handsets won't be affected with this hardware requirement, there are still a lot of smartphones that won't be able to receive the update.

These affected devices include the Lumia 530, Kazam Thunder 450W, Kazam Thunder 450WL, Karbonn Titanium Wind W4, Celkon Win 400, iBall Andi4L Pulse, BLU Win JR LTE, and Yezz Billy 4.
