In response to a question from a Twitter user, Microsoft has announced that all Lumia smartphones running on Window Phone 8 will be upgraded to the next version of Microsoft’s mobile OS which, according to the tweet, will be Windows 10.

Details about the upcoming version of Windows Phone are currently scarce considering that it might still be in the early stage of development. Nevertheless, Microsoft’s confirmation should be a good a news to all users wielding a WP8 device because they won’t suffer the same fate of users who purchased Windows Phone 7 handsets not knowing that it won’t make the jump to WP8.

Contrary to what was reported earlier in July, Microsoft will totally drop the Nokia branding on their upcoming devices and online presence, but will still keep the Lumia label.

According to The Verge, the transition will begin in France where the software giant will start to replace the Nokia brand in the company’s social media accounts exchange for the new “Microsoft Lumia” label.

Microsoft has also confirmed to the site that the new branding will be rolled out to other countries in the next coming weeks.

Meanwhile, Nokia (or what was left of it) will continue to improve its services such as the highly-regarded Here map which has just been recently ported to various Samsung devices.
