How to Download and Install Windows 10 Technical Preview for Phones

[mmadhankumar]

Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones is now available to download. This is a pre-release version of Microsoft's upcoming mobile operating system. You should only download this if you want to try a new operating system on your Windows Phone device. Since this is beta software, many of your favourite apps may not work on it and upgrading to it right now is not recommended on your primary phone as the preview is still very much a work in progress.

If you have a spare Windows Phone device lying around or if you love playing around with latest (potentially buggy) builds of operating systems, then read on.

Supported devices

Currently, Microsoft says only six Lumia phones can download and install Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones. These are:

• Lumia 630
• Lumia 635
• Lumia 636
• Lumia 638
• Lumia 730
• Lumia 830

More phones will be supported in future builds, but for now only users of the phones listed above can try Windows 10 Technical Preview.

Backing up your data

This is beta software and hence can be very buggy. That's why we recommend that you make a complete backup of your Windows Phone first.
