Four years after Microsoft stopped official support for the OS, and 18 months after the on-device Store physically stopped working, what does still work in Windows Phone 8.1 and what`s a no-go? If you pick up a classic Lumia 1020 or 920, for example, at a bargain price, how do you get things going in a meaningful way? tldr; Social networks are a no-go, email is hit and miss, cloud storage is very sketchy, but Office, sat-nav, music, weather, and original photography are all as good as ever. [NB: despite being a big update of an existing article, I`ve left all comments intact.]
