    For those with a Lumia 630, 635, 636, 638, 730 and 830 only

    Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phone is now available.

    Windows Insider App needs to be installed on your phone.

    Windows Phone Recover Tool
    Just incase you manage to brick your phone....or want WP8.1 back for any reason.

    Keep in mind that any data that hasn't been backed up will be lost.

    Saw the video with the Windows 10,small changes but logical and making even easier interacting with your W10 phone.
    I have a Lumia 735 which is basically 730 without LTE and having dual sim, so in theory could work with it,too.
    But i will wait patiently to a more mature version before installing it.
    Microsoft maybe is a bit late to the game,but small firm steps are made.

    I updated mine earlier today. Some of my apps wouldn't work after the reinitialisation, I just had to uninstall then reinstall them. There were only a few apps affected.

    L625 here, no Win 10 for me yet

    Can someone else with an unsupported phone confirm that the insiders app won't show "SLOW" or "FAST" options either?

    It just keeps asking me to log into my MS/DOMAIN account, Im thinking it only opens the fast/slow options once your handset is supported but don't have another one to test

    The Windows Insider App will only send the Windows 10 Technical Preview to the phones on the supported device list.

    Supposedly they'll be adding more phones as they go along.

    MICROSOFT SAY THIS COULD BRICK YOUR DEVICE

    Reg hack to get it installed on not yet supported devices
    http://wparea.de/2015/02/windows-10...nterstuetzten-smartphones-installiert-werden/

    Successfully managed the hack on my L625, allowed me to choose FAST, found the update, downloaded it, prepared for install, rebooted to install, failed, booted back to 8.1

    Trying again as the phone they used was also a 625 and it worked for them

    Maybe MS have patched the update somehow

    I've been following the forums on WPCentral and I'm borderline about to give up there. You couldn't make up the amount of rudeness...

    Pushing that swiftly to one side I'm borderline due a new phone so I'll put the preview on my HTC 8X when it's available. Until then I've seen the videos and I like the improvements made so far.

    All those Central communities are rude. Android Central is, BB central was, Palm Central was, no surprise WP Central is too!

    And that's why my post count here is so high.....lol This is the only forum/message board/etc that I've joined where I haven't been banned at least once..... I typically get banned for lashing out at the people that think they're better than everyone else.

    well that's to be expected, you don't see many kids here, gaming computers are for adults

    I'll most likely wait for something similar to dev prev, when the OS is almost complete and the only barrier is a craprrier getting in the way

    I tried 3-4 times to get that Win 10 preview to install on my 625 but it failed after reboot each time

    Did exactly the same as they did, same model phone, no idea

    If I had a spare phone, I'd have it loaded on my phone already. Unfortunately, my other phone has 1/4 of it's screen non-functional.

    This method seems to be working for me this time - had to use Windows Phone Recovery Tool to reset the phone first, looks like the error I was getting before was due to lack of space

    Main thing with any of these previews is to provide feedback on any issues. So many people don't, then complain and wonder why the bugs or issues aren't fixed in the next preview release.

    It's not meant to be on my phone yet, so feedback is a no go anyway

    That's part of the reason I'm not running the preview. I need my phone to function properly and I really don't have time to use my phone in such a way that I could provide any useful feedback.

    installed w10 on a laptop and its just as stable as w8.1 as far as I can tell, its like the most badass OS ever is already finished and they just keep adding additional features on top of it
