Windows 10 Preview to Reach Dozens More Phones Soon

Mar 30, 2015, 7:04 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Microsoft said it is preparing to make the technical preview of Windows 10 available to a large batch of phones in the coming weeks. Microsoft delivered an early build of the technical preview to just a few handsets in February. However, due to the way most handsets' partitions were created, the preview couldn't function properly on the vast majority of devices. Microsoft has completed a process called partition stitching, which allows devices to adjust the partition dynamically. Microsoft has since been testing the technical preview on a wide variety of Windows handsets to make sure the build is functional. Microsoft expects to spend about another week engineering the code, and then will likely make the preview available through its Windows Insiders program. Some of the handsets that will be able to test the new operating system include the Lumia 1520, 1320, 1020, 920, 925, 928, Icon, and a smattering of handsets from the Lumia 500, 600, 700, and 800 series. Microsoft will have more details about timing of the release in the days to come.

I'm Ready for it.

I'm looking forward to playing around with this. With the few updates to the TP since its release, I'm more confident that I can run it on my Lumia 1520, without too many issues to prevent me from enjoying it as my primary phone.

I can't wait to see what goodies they've added, and I'm looking forward to helping improve some functions or suggesting functions for the final version.
