Many things have happened in the recent months in the Windows world. Microsoft has accelerated the release of Windows 10 mobile OS builds to the insiders in the fast and slow rings. PC builds got updated too. And now the Lumia 650 in what is perhaps the last Lumia with the legacy of the erstwhile Nokia also got announced and is up for pre-orders. However the sale may start from 18th Feb 2016.  Lumia 650  Lumia 650 has all promising features and it fills the gap nicely between the new generation Windows 10 powered budget Lumia 550 and the flagship Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL. So Lumia 650 becomes the fourth model of the Windows Smartphone that has Windows 10 out of the box notwithstanding the eligibility of many other older Lumias currently running Windows 8.1 that might run Windows 10 mobile OS very soon.  Lumia 650 has 5” AMOLED screen with a better pixel density, Corning Gorilla glass, 16 GB internal memory, support for external memory through microSD card for about 2

Latest Windows 10 Mobile OS Build Windows 10 mobile new OS build 10586.107 has been released to Fast ring insiders now and this means we are inching closer to the official release of Windows 10 Mobile OS for all Lumia phones running Windows 8.1 also. It is quite evident that despite the bad press, Microsoft is putting up all their hard work to achieve the gigantic task, to precisely polish the Windows 10 mobile OS build 10586. The release of new build 10586.107 insiders in the fast ring indicates that goal. Difference between 10586.29 and 10586.107 What has become the first official Windows 10 mobile build for Windows phones Lumia 950 XL, Lumia 950 and Lumia 550 during last November when the build number was updated to 10586.0.

Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.71 released to Fast ring insiders. What's next? Release of official Windows 10 Mobile OS

Perhaps among the technology companies, it is Microsoft that has generated much interest and curiosity in the last few months ever since Windows 10 was released for personal computers on 29th July 2015. Many Microsoft/Windows fans have been actively participating in 'Windows Insider' program which is a 'first of its kind' involvement of fans particularly by the tech giant Microsoft. Windows 10 already on 200 million devices including 1 million Smartphones Despite the 'app-gap' that has been plaguing the rise of 'Windows 10 Mobile' as the preferred choice of many prospective users, one can't deny the impressive work done by Microsoft for Windows 10. It is no wonder considering the fact that about 200 million users have already upgraded to Windows 10 from earlier builds and all of them are considered to be having the genuine versions of Windows. At the same time about 1 million smartphones are already running on 'Windows 10 Mobile&#

Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10.0.10586.63 has been released to all the ‘Fast’ ring insiders. Once Microsoft does its verification with the fast ring insiders, this build will make its way to the slow ring. What is interesting now is to see if Microsoft is going to release this build as the formal Windows 10 stable release build! As many of you might already know, the official release of Windows 10 Mobile to all Windows 8.1 phone users has been posted from Christmas 2015 to the early 2016. When it is said ‘early’ it may mean Q1, the first quarter, ranging anything between 1st Jan 2016 to 31st March 2016. However having followed all the builds that got released in the last 6 months, we could say with confidence that on most of the Windows mobile devices, starting from the build 10536 the things have become more stable and the build 10586 in particular has become a quasi-official build when Microsoft released the version 10586.29. Because this represented the sam

Coming from the stable of the famous Microsoft, Windows 10 has already taken the path of success but its avatar on mobiles is yet to make a debut. However Microsoft in its innovative effort has provided a great option to its fans to test the preview builds for Windows 10 since the beginning of 2015. However it is always better to know the options for 'hard reset' and through use of the software for solving any problems as the new Smartphones due to their sleek design have very less buttons (hardware buttons). At first the preview builds were very buggy but ever since the build 10536 was released, the Windows 10 mobile technical preview builds have acquired more stability. If you use the Windows phones with Windows 10 builds now, you don't feel anymore that you are actually using a preview build. That has been the improvement and we must appreciate Microsoft as well as those scores of insiders who have actually helped Microsoft achieve this as they provide valuable

Officially Windows 10 operating system (OS) got released for PCs/ computers on 29th July 2015 and it has been receiving great positive reviews. It seems to be a runaway success as it is said that it has got both the advantages of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 & 8.1 combined. The mobile version is still under development but for those interested in using the 'Mobile Insider Preview' version, Microsoft has officially stated their position about which phones will be supported by Windows 10 mobile that is going to be released in a few months. The clue what we can get from the following information found on Microsoft's official site is that all those phones which are eligible for 'Mobile Insider Preview' program will be most probably supported by Windows 10 Mobile full version that is rumored to be released during November 2015.
