[Experimental] Install W10 on ANY phone running 8.1

[stokes1510]

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 was gonna do it as soon as I saw the Chinese version but I wanted to see how it went for them first, and thats the worst part, other people with the 930 I've spoke to have had very little problems downloading or using win10. Arghh damn the 930 for handling so damn well

Do one thing drink a beer and enjoy your Sunday so that you chill down
Wait for some days for a better review from other 930 users later on you decide if you wanna install it or not

I can't get it done on my 925 :\

Ugh :| I keep getting an error. I'll reset my phone and then try.

It says my sys free space : 213,549,056 bytes.Is that oke?

NO, that's only 208 MB

Tried that myself while trying to install on my 1520. You need to actually use the Windows Phone Recovery software from Microsoft to download and COMPLETELY wipe the phone via PC for it to work.

Just so you know. Feel free to try if you like, but I would recommend saving yourself the time of doing it another time afterwards!

My UK Vodafone 925 is now in the Spinning Gears part of the WP10 install. Wonder if it will work...?

 

[Ashalinia]

Enjoying the preview although the quick actions aren't aligned properly on the 1520 (due to having 5 per row instead of 4), there's some lag on start/all apps, apps load slowly, I can't change my glance settings, the lock screen settings crash, Cortana restarts when I exit out of it and re-open (my last search disappears), some apps won't open if I tap on their toasts/notifications...

Okay so there's a lot of problems.

I'm mainly excited to see more apps support actionable toasts.

The preview on my Lumia 920 is very smooth. There are some crashes when changings the settings, in the start screen, but in general is very good.

So far I love the new design and changes

After I try a few times on the phone always restarts, I try the recovery option on the windows insider app it says 'Your phone is ready to get updates from the following preview version: ' them a click ok and then app closes but no update.

It should also say rebooting in x seconds... under the ring you selected, is it not rebooting after you make the selection?

I don't get the count down just the check icon and when i press it the app closes, I also try to go the the phone updates and nothing.

The chinese one, my 925 does not have sd slot and is the only option I have right now to try this, I really don't wanna mess with my 930.

No, I did all the steps more than once, but I read on xda that are more people complaining that is not working on 925 :\

well then you should not do it...for me when I tried I had to wait quite a bit..at one point I thought nothing was working and touch something then it jammed...so I had to restart from scratch..and finally got it
