Hello Jeffrey, I am afraid if you can do that. see the following blog for reference: Windows Phone 7 devices cannot run any version of Windows Phone 8 http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/winphone/forum/wp8-wpupdate/can-lumia-800-updated-to-windows-81/af11bd91-9dbe-46fb-8fd2-cc33a7747af4

The phone comes with Windows Mobile 8.0, which does not have Cortana. But, as soon as you fully charge the phone, you can go into SETTINGS to PHONE UPDATE, hit "check for updates" and the 8.1 update will show available!! Run the update and you will have Windows Mobile 8.1 installed, which includes Cortana!!

You can upgrade it to 2.3.7 at best. No other updata is available for this phone.

I don't know. The first OS upgrade after the phone was delivered rendered it useless so I returned the phone to the seller.

Hi Pamela, It doesn't have the 8.1 version of Windows included. You will still need to download the 8.1 update. Microsoft provides the updates here. Its super easy but extra work. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/update-from-windows-8-tutorial I hope that helps

Yes, mine did... But it also has Windows Phone 8.1 now and it works great. It's hard to believe this phone is still so good when you consider when it was launched...

I think you can do that. But the Windows 8.1 require a flash drive with 24 GB memory.

I did it. It is free. If you don't get an upgrade offer came up when 1st initiating and Registering Windows after you start the machine the 1st time, you can Google "Windows 8.1 Upgrade" and select the download from the MS website. You can also check the list of updates in the Windows Update app in Control Panel. It takes a while to download and install.

To upgrade Windows 8.1 it isn't necessary to update BIOS. However, vendor recommends up to date BIOS if you have possibility or time to do it.
