Hi I have a Nokia Lumia 730 phone and wish to buy a portable keyboard

Windows Central Question

to use with it, but on close inspection, they all seem to exclude working with Windows 8.1. Is there a way round this or do you know of any that will work with my phone please? Have tried trawling Amazon but all say 'exception, not work with Windows mobile or Windows 8 systems. My phone says software is Windows Phone 8.1 Update. Any ideas please?

I believe 8.1 Update (1) doesn't support Bluetooth keyboards. I believe support was added in Update 2 but you can't get it. Windows 10 Mobile is also compatible too.

You should be able to upgrade your phone to Windows 10 Mobile. Then you can use the keyboard.
