I got the following message when I tried to use SharePoint designer 2010: “Microsoft SharePoint designer cannot be used to edit web sites on servers different from SharePoint Server 2010…”
We have not received any message that we have been migrated. So as far as I am concerned we are still on 2010. If you click on the url in the message you are advised to download and use SPD 2013.
Is that a wise decision to follow up?
Are we now on 2013? Microsoft didn’t inform us. How can we know? Front end still is 2010.
Any ideas / suggestions are more than welcome!
This is a different issue, you haven’t been migrated. Only the server your tennant is part of has been updated to SharePoint 2013! That’s the reason you cannot use SharePoint Designer 2010 anymore.
Please read my resources article about the update:

It contains a link to the notification e-mails you are going to receive. Microsoft is never going to update your tennant without any notification.
