Sorting out Windows 10 versions: Desktop, mobile and more.Microsoft offers preview of Windows 10 for phones.The initial list of Windows Phones, which isn't 100 percent locked, according to the post, includes these devices:

Windows 10 is intended to run across a wide range of devices, from desktops and laptops to smartphones and more industrial devices. The aim of the test builds is to elicit comments, questions and complaints from Windows users, looking at those preview versions of the upcoming operating system, that could help Microsoft fashion a Windows 10 that will have a broader appeal than its predecessor, Windows 8. Microsoft officials went public with the list of Windows Phones that will likely be able to run the next test build in a March 27 blog post. Microsoft execs attributed the small number of initially supported devices to the 'very tight OS partitions' that left insufficient room for the installation process to update the OS in place.īut the second test build, which may not be available until the first week of April or so, will support the majority of existing Windows Phones. When Microsoft released the first test build of Windows 10 Mobile in February, it was built to run only on a handful of Lumia devices, specifically the Lumia 630, 635, 636, 638, 730 and 830 phones. Microsoft's Operating Systems Group team has added code to the next test build of Windows 10 Mobile that will allow that release to work on the majority of Windows Phones. The Lumia 535 is among the Windows Phones that will be able to run the next test build of Windows 10.
