Bought a 928 for my wife off Ebay after her HTC 8X died (shocking). My son and I have 928's and love them. Daughter has an 822.

Surprisingly the phone came with Windows 8.1 already. OS Version is 8.10.12359.845.

Is this the Developer Preview? How can I tell, and is there anything to worry about with future updates to this phone? More importantly - how do WE get 8.1 like her??

(BTW - she LOVES Cortana, and won't let us play with her phone anymore! ;-)

She's actually missing an update or two, but yeah, she's on the developer preview. Look up how to get onto it, it's free. ;)

Does the Dev Preview need updates to be installed manually? I just did an "update check" on her phone and it said it was up-to-date?

When the production release comes out, will her phone essentially "catch-up" and be standardized again?

I do want 8.1 but not at the expense of going permanently "rogue"...

Do it on her phone and yours, so she can be caught up and you can get onto it.
