Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones has been released

Confirming last week’s rumors, Microsoft has released the first build of Windows 10 Technical Preview for mobile devices today. Members of the Windows Insider Program can now download the preview release if they have a compatible device. While the list of compatible devices is going to expand in the future, it’s currently limited to: the Lumia 630, Lumia 635, Lumia 636, Lumia 638, Lumia 730, or Lumia 830.

I’m excited to announce that our first build of Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones is available now for Windows Insiders! The team here has been working hard to get this out to you and we know that you’ve been waiting patiently since we announced that it was coming. This is a long post, but there is a lot of important information so if you want to jump in and install the preview on your phone I really encourage you to read it completely. Since we’re building Windows 10 to be the same core platform for PCs, tablets and phones, it should be no surprise that participating in the program for phones will work pretty much the same way it has been working for PCs.
