Microsoft had been on the edge in battling Apple and Google in terms of mobile OS. Some people had given reasons why the Washington-based company should work with all Android devices; however, reports are suggesting that the Windows 10 Creator's Update will only support 13 devices.

As aforementioned above, Microsoft knows well that they couldn’t cope up their Windows 10 with Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android OS. “We looked at feedback from our Windows Insiders and realized that we were not providing the best possible experience for our customers on many older devices,” Microsoft mentioned in a statement. The company then added that those feedbacks aided them in knowing which devices will their Windows 10 Creator’s update would support.

Speaking of not fighting and aiming for Android anymore, Forbes noted that CEO Satya Nadella now focuses on a Windows 10 cloud based system rather than a single system that would dominate over Android. Hence, Microsoft is now focusing on offering cloud-based services accessible from smartphones, phablets, laptops and desktops.

Furthermore, Microsoft would work well with all Android devices in integrating their Windows 10, Computer World reported. The publication then noted that Microsoft’s Cortana app would aid Android users to sync their reminders and notifications to their devices. Another was using OneDrive to access files in other devices running Windows 10. Other reasons were Outlook for syncing calendar events, OneNote for notes and Office Lens for syncing scanned files.

With that said, it was then mentioned that Microsoft’s Windows 10 Creator’s Update would only support 13 devices. Among mentioned were Alcatel IDOL 4S, Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL, VAIO Phone Biz, SoftBank 503LV, MouseComputer MADOSMA Q601 and Trinity NuAns NEO. Of course, Microsoft’s Lumia devices weren’t left out: Lumias 550, 640, 640 XL, 650, 950 and 950 XL.

Tech Radar then stated that the Washington-based company itself said that devices not mentioned on the Windows 10 Creators Update list would be disappointed. Yet, Microsoft's Dona Sarkar stated that "Windows Insiders who have devices not on this list can still keep these devices on the Windows 10 Creators Update at their own risk knowing that it's unsupported."
