10166... How to fastring to newest release?

[johnfishcurtis]

Currently on 10166 (by slow ring) on my 640. Fancy the latest release.
Can i just select fastring or do I need to hard reset first?

Just go to the Windows Insider application, select "Get preview builds" again and go to the Fast Ring. Then go to Settings and search for updates.

IMHO, it would be easier to go back to 8.1 then directly to 10563. Going from 10166 will require more installs.

Depends on how you look at it. Rolling back to 8.1 then jumping to the latest is two installs. In fact, it could be more as you have to reconfigure your device for Windows 10 Mobile.

You right, but reading others people's update experiences, seems more people are having problems going from a previous release. I was already back at 8.1, I didn't experience the long install times others were complaining about.

Long install doesn't bother me & I can't rollback to 8.1 as my Windows RT can't install the Recovery Tool

Well it was risky of you to put your phone on the Windows Insider program without a PC with the Windows Phone Recovery Tool installed.

Life is full of risks, without risk we sometimes do not progress.

Taking risks is good. Taking risks without precaution is foolhardy.

Tried today but says I need to remove some apps/make more space. Only have two games and a few apps installed.
Any ideas?
