[Experimental] Install W10 on ANY phone running 8.1

[Akash Patel]

Even after the tons of confirmation of Windows 10 running fine on 520, still wondering about the 521. I think I'm just reluctant to flash my phone for some reason.

It happens you shouldn't try if you are not 100% sure and moreover if it is your primary device you should avoid it.

I just updated my spare Lumia 920 with Windows 10 TP.

How does Lumia 920 work with w10 TP? I know it will be buggy and have some crashed, but is it functional?

for the start screen lag with my lumia 930. I tried to hard reset to phone and do a clean install without backup. All was perfect. I hard reseted my phone again to use the backup. The lag was there. I removed all the item on my start screen and I will add app one by one to look if it's an app who lag the phone.

Stuck on about 5% at spinning cogs for quite a while now. Is that normal?

Wait usually this is how the wp updates work. They are stuck at 5% and after some time they become extremely fast. Now i dont know about w10 as i am now downloading it, but i guess this is how it will work

Thanks for the replies. I was about to do the power+volume button soft reset, literally pressing the buttons, and the bar shot to 50%.

Whew.

Yup in every update it is like this only.
But don't know why in W10 it takes more time than usual to install.

Avoid doing resets when an update is on. There is a chance to brick your phone.

I put some apps on the start screen ... It lag immediately. I really don't understand. (the bad thing is that I had like 40 apps organized in folder and all. I don't want to do a hard reset again to backup the start screen.)

Did it work for 525?

Don't know why some people are having laggy start screen
For testing I pinned every app I have in my phone and still the start screen is working properly

The phone space is different and OS space is different.
To know your OS space open windows insider app and check about section of the app and see whats the sys free space it shows

Some people seem to be installing on there main driver, this is just to easy to do, now someone really needs to talk me out of doing it on my 930. As much as I want w10tp I dont wanna brick my phone but the more I read about it, it just seems safer than I anticipated

If you have mixed feelings its better to stay away from it
And moreover it is your primary device so you shouldn't try it.

I noticed this shortly after posting. I got everything on my PC, so I'm fine with resetting. c:
