It?s finally here. Windows Phone 8.1 is now available to download for those in the Preview for Developers program. Windows Phone 8.1 is the next big version of Windows Phone that introduces new features like voice assistant Cortana, a notification center, automatic app updates, VPN support and much more.

I am getting a bit worried now. My 1020 is stuck on the spinning gears for nearly an hour now.

Just downloaded a small update but over 3g,after install my version is 8.0105. Just checked and there's another download waiting so will wait to get WiFi before then

My 920 has been the same way with the handful of updates it's gone through (currently stuck on spinning gears with about 5% on the progress bar for about 30 minutes myself). I worried about this the first time or two as well, but it's always eventually completed, so I've learned to just be patient and give it time. Some updates have taken mine 90 minutes or more. Really strange that several other guys at the office have the exact same phone, yet theirs always updates quickly.

Perhaps you just got the pre-update? Try checking for updates again, there's two today in order to get to 8.1 proper.
