Mark, I already explained it in my prior post? Just click on the link and follow all the directions. That link takes you to the Redstone (W10) forum install with directions to install W10 and has fixes for every situations like losing your data, accidental/forced phone resets, etc.; it covers everything just click the link and read EVERYTHING.

Can you please tell me how you installed windows 10? I used the upgrade advisor and it tells me that my phone is able to be updated to windows 10?

Thanks,

Mark

I had given up checking the Upgrade advisor on my phone, but your post gave me hope. I just checked my phone and still nothing. Upgrade Advisor says no updates available. What carrier do you have your phone through. I have Verizon

Cindy, I use Verizon but people on this forum use many different providers so it doesn't matter your provider. Upgrade Advisor will no longer update your W8.1 phone. You must follow the directions on a different forum. Follow my directions in a previous post.

Hey Windows Central Community,

This morning I went ahead and installed the Windows 10 Tech Preview on my HTC One M8 (for Windows, obviously!). Thought I'd throw a post out here related specifically to the M8 until the device is officially supported and to answer any questions people might have about it.

So far Win10 is running well - I haven't noticed a significant decrease in battery life yet today and it is very smooth. I have yet to come across any lag, stuttering, or freezing at all. The device did heat up while it was doing a restore of my apps/settings (I decided to do a reset after I installed the preview just to make sure everything went smooth). I have the M8 synced up to my Band and my car via Bluetooth with no issues and have all my standard apps installed - everything is working well so far with no crashes.

There were some issues that were seen in the 730 forum that also are relevant here.
1) You cannot hide the on-screen navigation bar.
2) You cannot set a background image, or rather - you can but it will not be displayed (except for a split second when you are navigating away from the home page)

If anyone has questions related to Win10 on the M8, just ask away!

Afternoon all, I just updated an HTC one M8 the other day to W10M (Version: 1709 OS build: 10.0.15254.401). I don't know what Redstone version that is but anyway... I also got the HEY CORTANA working with a little bit of tinkering. I had been using a NOKIA ICON as a daily driver for some time but got the HTC pretty cheap and thought it had pretty good spec's less the camera. Anyway, it is working pretty good, just wanted to share with the community...
