This is not possible as Windows Phone 7 supported different processors.

This question was really unexpected!
Short answer: no.
Windows Phone 7's last update is dated back to 14 March 2013. Also, the last few updates didn't included new hardware support but only some software improvement.
Without hardware support there is no chance to get WP7 working on a Nokia Lumia 930. It's not only about processor or instruction set: screen ...

Type in your friend's name and after the last character of the name typed (and before hitting space), tap the name which gives you and option like this:
Tapping the +[Somename] adds that word to the dictionary and will no longer be auto corrected.

This means that if you are currently using WhatsApp on a Windows Phone 7, you will be able to continue to use WhatsApp on that phone during this period.
However, as part of this process, after July 1st, 2016 it will not be possible to create a WhatsApp account on a Windows Phone 7 nor move a WhatsApp account to a Windows Phone 7.
It means that only ...

Windows Phone 7.x only allows apps to be installed via the store app itself; Whilst you can download the xap from the store, you can only use this to install on phones running Windows Phone 8.0 or later.

The last version of WP you can install on your Lumia 610 is Windows Phone 7.8.
The exact version is 7.10.8862.144, released the 14th March 2013, as you can see in the WP 7.8 versions history table.
Assuming the download doesn't take too long, the update should take 30-40 minutes.

Click on your friend's name to select it, and you should see an option in the suggestion bar like +Dany. Click +Dany and it will add your friend's name to the dictionary.

Regardless of the type of app, you can't force an app written for WP8+ to run on Windows Phone 7 devices since those are using APIs that don't exist on these older devices.

The easiest way to rid the volume controls of music playing is to play a video. It can be a video you recorded with your camera, or one you've synced to your Videos section. Start and end the video, and the music is no longer in your volume controls. It's a workaround, but it's much quicker than rebooting the phone.

For Windows Phone 7.x devices, (according to Deezer Customer Support), you cannot login with Facebook, but must use a Deezer account; to quote their support:
To get a new password go to the Deezer home page on a computer and before signing in to your account click log in and make use of the "forgotten password" option.

It may just be that the APN settings have got lost.
If you know what they are for your network, you can go to settings > cellular (assuming US English) and edit the APN in there

You might get back all of them if you connect your facebook acount and your Live.com (Windows Live) acount back.
You may go to Settings, and then to |Acounts and then add an acount. Then you have to add the same live ID that you've been using while on WP7. Then you connect via the Acounts tab your Facebook. Restart the phone and your contacts should be on ...

Since I recently given my old WP7 device to family note, just a note: While adding Microsoft account and deleting the old one sounds like correct idea, I realised you are not able to delete a Microsoft account which was the device set up with at first boot
The only way to do it, sadly, is factory reset

This is intentional, to save battery, and cannot be configured to behave differently on Windows Phone 7.x. As soon as you turn the screen back on, it should attempt to reconnect to known WiFi connections, and carry on using that.
It shouldn't affect any apps, as these also get suspended automatically, when the screen turns off, unless they request ...

You need to make a .bsp file for it. The same as if you were installing windows ce 5.0 or 6.0. That way the OS knows how to deal with the hardware.. From there, you can build the image and (somehow) upload it to the phone. You have to have a copy of the build environment, or know someone who does.
I went thru the same crap with my Lumia. (unsure of the ...

This used to work on developer unlocked phones, unfortunately it is no longer possible to unlock Windows Phone 7 devices. As Rowland writes, you'll need Windows Phone 8.x to do this.

You could try a factory reset (Using the Nokia Software Recovery tool). This will delete your files + apps though! You can back them up and restore them, but then you might have the same problem (slow phone)..
The 610 is really beginning to be an older model. You could consider upgrading to the 635 or 535; they're not very expensive and much faster.

It's his age. He cannot make purchases. The only way to get around it is to reset the phone and use a new account that is aged 13 or over.

All the contacts on Windows Phones are synchronised with online services, or stored on the SIM card, so all you should need to do is to set your new phone to synchronise with the same online services, and transfer the SIM across (if you use contacts stored on the SIM).
If you really did want to export as VCard or CSV, your options are limited as on Windows ...

Windows Phone 7 devices will only show up in Zune as they can't be shown as a mass media device (like an USB stick).

You can use an app like: Keep Alive Wifi: http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/experimental_keep_alive_for_wifi-08-10-12
I am not sure if you needed a rooted/unlocked phone for that, but I use(d) the app and it worked pretty good :)

Windows Phone 7, which is what the Lumia 900 uses, does not have the ability to block calls. Some carriers do have call blocking at the network level, so you may want to check. This is particularly true for abusive callers, as opposed to unwanted commercial callers. Here is a link from AT&T discussing this.
Windows Phone 8.1 includes call blocking, ...

The solution is to remove the Microsoft Account on the Windows Phone 7 device, and switch it to a different account. Go to Settings -> Email + Accounts -> and 'Add an account'.
Have them enter THEIR Microsoft Account, not yours. After that, select your Microsoft Account and remove it.

About one month ago I simply uninstalled the app from my phone and downloaded it again from the store. I didn't get any app reset since then.
I'm not marking this as an answer since it is not technically proving it as a solution, but one month without any issue smells good enough for me to post it here. Hope this helps others.

It is not possible to backup a phone without booting it up. However, in this case any data that are on memory card is obviously safe and can be backup.
If i remove the battery and leave it for few hours (e.g. 24 hours) and next day it will start fine and I can see my data as well. but after 2 -3 mins
Within this time, you can connect your phone to PC via ...
