Android 10 Go to Android?

I have a Nokia 1 smartphone that has Android 10 Go installed.
It will not allow me to install certain apps I want because of this.
Is it possible to install a full version of Android and replace Android 10 Go?
Even Android 9 would be OK.
Or should I just buy another phone making sure it does not have a Go version of Android?

    It's no secret that Go isn't full Android and certain apps will not work on it.  Play Store should be offering you apps that do work, or you can find alternative apps.
    Since you've posted before that the phone struggles with Go, it'll struggle with full Android.

    Easiest solution is just buy another phone, bearing in mind a lot of cheaper phones will be Go.
  • If your fone is capable or fast than go for latest version of android if official updates show otherwise keep the old android which is capable for your fone
