# Upgrade a Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile with Mobile Device Management (MDM)
**Applies to**
- Windows 10 Mobile
## Summary
This article describes how to upgrade eligible Windows Phone 8.1 devices to Windows 10 Mobile using MDM. To determine if the device is eligible for an upgrade, see [How to determine whether an upgrade is available for a device](#howto).
This article describes how to upgrade eligible Windows Phone 8.1 devices to Windows 10 Mobile using Mobile Device Management (MDM). To determine if the device is eligible for an upgrade, see the [How to determine whether an upgrade is available for a device](#howto-upgrade-available) topic in this article.
The Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows 10 Mobile upgrade uses an "opt-in" or "seeker" model. An eligible device must opt-in to be offered the upgrade. For consumers, the Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app is available from the Windows Store to perform the opt-in. For Enterprises, Microsoft is offering a centralized management solution through Mobile Device Management (MDM) that can push a management policy to each eligible device to perform the opt-in.

For Enterprises, Microsoft is offering a centralized management solution through MDM that can push a management policy to each eligible device to perform the opt-in.
If you use a list of allowed applications (known as whitelisting) through MDM, see the documentation here to make sure system applications are whitelisted before you upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. Also, be aware that there are known issues listed in the documentation that could adversely affect the device after you upgrade. See this documentation for rules to avoid.
If you use a list of allowed applications (app whitelisting) with MDM, verify that system applications are whitelisted before you upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile. Also, be aware that there are [known issues](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt299056.aspx#whitelist) with app whitelisting that could adversely affect the device after you upgrade.
Some enterprises may want to control the availability of the Windows 10 Mobile upgrade to their users. With the opt-in model, the enterprise can blacklist the Upgrade Advisor app to prevent their users from upgrading prematurely. For more information about how to blacklist the Upgrade Advisor app, see the How to blacklist the Upgrade Advisor app section. Enterprises that have blacklisted the Upgrade Advisor app can use the solution that's described in this article to select the upgrade timing on a per-device basis.

The Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app is not designed or intended for Enterprise customers who want to automate the upgrade process.
However, the Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app is the best mechanism to determine when an upgrade is available. The app dynamically queries whether the upgrade is released for this device model and associated mobile operator (MO).

We recommend that enterprises use a pilot device with the Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app installed. The pilot device provides the device model and MO used by the enterprise. When you run the app on the pilot device, it will tell you that either an upgrade is available, that the device is eligible for upgrade, or that an upgrade is not available for this device.
Note The availability of Windows 10 Mobile as an update for existing Windows Phone 8.1 devices varies by device manufacturer, device model, country or region, mobile operator or service provider, hardware limitations, and other factors. To check for compatibility and other important installation information, see the Windows 10 mobile page.

Some enterprises may want to block their users from installing the Windows 10 Mobile Upgrade Advisor app. With Windows Phone 8.1, you can allow or deny individual apps by adding specific app publishers or the app globally unique identifier (GUID) from the Window Phone Store to an allow or deny XML list. The GUID for a particular application can be found in the URL for the app in the phone store. For example, the GUID to the Windows Phone Upgrade Adviser is listed in the following location:
