Verizon to update the Nokia Lumia Icon to Windows 10 Mobile starting tomorrow

According to a listing on Verizon's website, starting tomorrow Big Red is updating the Nokia Lumia Icon to Windows 10 Mobile. Verizon suggests that once you have received notification that the update has arrived on your phone, make sure that the handset is either connected to a Wi-Fi network, or has a strong Verizon cellular signal. You should also make sure that the battery is fully charged before starting the updating process.

You can also use the Windows 10 Upgrade Advisor app to help open up space on your Lumia Icon, allowing you to update to Windows 10 Mobile. The Upgrade Advisor app can be found in the Windows Store, and is a free download. Besides clearing enough room on your Lumia Icon to allow you to install Windows 10 Mobile, the app will also alert you if another update is required before you start installing Windows 10 Mobile on your phone.
