Windows 10 for Mobile Technical Preview is now available for select models

With the included riddle, Microsoft today released what is the first public version of Windows 10 for mobile The system intended to replace Windows Phone in our terminals thus begins its journey with a preview that those members of the Windows Insider program who have some of the supported startup models will be able to enjoy.

Announced at the event last January, this Windows 10 Mobile Technical Preview is software still in development, and as such it can show certain raw aspects.Microsoft has decided to share it to, as in the PC version, add user feedback to the process and, incidentally, let us see ahead of time what the future of its system will be.

Supported models and installation

To install the preview of Windows 10 for mobile we will need to be members of the Windows Insider program and be clear about the repercussions of installing an unfinished version of the system on our smartphone. In the case of the mobile, we will also have to have the Windows Insider application installed and, at least for the moment, have one of the following models:

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

If we comply with all of the above, the phone should notify us of the availability of this first build of Windows 10, being able to search for it ourselves via the Windows Insider app.Once detected we can start downloading and installing it.

Given the preview nature of the system, Microsoft has sought to ensure that we can return to Windows Phone whenever we want. To do this we will have a recovery tool that will allow us to restore the factory image of the terminal. An image whose availability on the phone is partly what explains the initial support for a limited number of models and the decision to leave out high-end terminals. That and the greater ease of working with a reduced number of hardware configurations to detect failures and stabilize the system.

Of course, if your terminal is not on the list of supported mobiles, do not despair. From Redmond they assure that they will add new devices to the list with each new build that they publish of this Technical Preview of Windows 10 for mobile phones.
