I have downloaded the windows insider, login, then selected the Slow update option, its said rebooting your phone (5,4,3,2,..1) then it restarts my phone. Then nothing happens.
It just restarts my phone.
What to do?

Maybe below article can help.
How to install Windows 10 Preview to your Lumia Windows Phone | Windows Central

But did you check for phone updates yet or go in the insider app again?

But apart from above you do realize what you are going to do.
It may be buggy and you could encounter all kind of problems. And did you already download and install the Windows Software Recovery Tool and checked if you can use it to roll back?

Select fast update. But it doesn't work well on Lumia 520, I downgraded to 8.1 within an hour after playing with preview. Build doesn't have much new except enhanced notification center, people app. The settings is still the same. Better wait for proper official release.

Yea it worked, but now after reading your feedback, I'm thinking to wait for few more time.
By the way if I go for It, will I'm going to loose all the apps on phone n SD card?

Kind of yes, if you install W10 you will not loose your apps. But it is recommended to do a hard reset if it is very buggy and then you loose your apps if you did not make a backup. Furthermore you will loose then if you roll back to 8.1.

I went for the update and scroll back to w8.1 in just one hr. It's was nice but buggy. But when I scrolled back. Nokia/lumia recovery tool scrolled me to cyan update instead of denim update. Did same happed with u too.
