Yes you can but all you need to be a member of windows insider. Download windows insider app on ur lumia and Choose Fast ring membership after registration.

At least make a space of 3.5 gb

Whenever you upgrade from WP8.1, you will upgrade to the latest available version in the stream available for the version you choose (fast ring or slow ring).

Yes. Just to be safe, make sure you back up all of your stuff just in case (music, photos, contacts,,etc). But I think it does it anyways, but you never know. It does usually ask if you wanna restore from backup upon rebooting from the upgrade.

Okay. Is this the same amount of data needed to download and install? I mean data subscription.

 

[jeffchapik]

The download is 645 Mb.

 

[Bagzton]

Alrighty. Thanks.

Nope . It requires around 800 mb.

Question, if I choose now to jump in, do I need to do a hard reset? I know it's a dumb thing, but I really hate them.

I'm literally new on this Insider Preview thing so I'm quite scared to try it... Is there a high probability that my Lumia will be bricked?

Is hard reset really required? If yes what would I do with my app and game data? Files, pictures, videos, and contacts?

BTW I'm using Lumia 520.

 

[Bagzton]

So far, people are saying hard reset is no longer needed for the latest build. I'll be jumping in on the insider preview for the first time tonight on my L920.

I didn't hard reset and I think it feels snappier than 8.1

I didn't hard reset and 10458 is the highest version my Lumia 920 will update to, went straight from 8.1 yesterday. No regrets, it's still a gorgeous OS, but now I know what I did wrong to not get the latest build.

It seems to work better when you hard reset and not restore from a back up

I've just updated from Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 (the one they didn't release) and I haven't had any problems at all.

Some people said that they didn't get any email alerts but I found that the settings in the app were turned off by default.
