    I wouldn't recommend trying to upgrade the Lumia 530 to Windows 10 Mobile.

    You can try step 3 here for now: http://forums.windowscentral.com/ask...ml#post3643982

    As for recommendations, I would recommend the Lumia 550.

    Officially, no. Unofficially, it should be possible. But it will be terrible.

    It can be done unofficially, but, as shmsnh said, it isn't worth your time.

    I would look at getting a Lumia 650, Lumia 550, Lumia 640, or Lumia 830. All four of those phones can be found for a reasonable price and run Windows 10 Mobile well on the latest builds.
    I don't recommend pursuing Windows 10 Mobile on the Lumia 530 though. There's a reason it's not officially supported.
