Microsoft decided to make my job tough by naming all variants of Windows 10 but if you had a phone which runs Windows Phone 8.1 and you need to try next generation. ‘’Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones’’ is now available to download for Windows Insider, via the Windows Insider app.
Microsoft Insiders program provides ease of use to sign up and it requires only your Microsoft account credentials and user’s willingness to play around early software builds which indicates bugs and crashes. The new version of Windows for smart phones resembles its counterparts on Xbox One and desktop, complete with customizable photo backdrops. Notifications also sync between desktop and mobile and it provides a sensible settings menu which even at first glance provides much better when put together as compare to Microsoft offering before.
Its great feature for mobile devices is that it now features Skype chat in messaging and VoIP directly in phone app and provides the basis for what could become Microsoft answer to iMessage in terms of offering a pervasive, system level tool for communicating through text, voice and video irrespective of the device you are using. Messaging in the preview build is lacking dual-SIM support, search, drafts, voice note and ring tone sharing as well as various other features. Cortana is also English-only in this build.
