I see windows 10 is finally out for my 1520 but I can't find anything anywhere about what stays and what is lost when you do the upgrade. Will I need to reconfigure all my email and such and re-download any apps assuming they are available?
I suggest you do the upgrade. You won't lose anything in terms of apps but some things might need to be re-entered in case there are any issues. But the experience shouldn't be that taxing. Just be sure to do a backup before updating
The only major issue that some 1520 users have found is that lumia camera is gone and the new ms camera isn't that good in low light shots. But you can download lumia camera beta and use that
