Windows 10 on Lumia: next preview will support a lot more Lumias

Hi folks,

The list of supported phones on the Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones (released on February 12^th) is unfortunately very limited. This is due to the fact that only phones where the system partition size is large enough for Windows 10 can be upgraded in-place.

In the meantime Microsoft has implemented a feature called “partition stitching” to dynamically re-size the system partition. This feature will be part of the next Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones supporting a lot more Lumia phones!

Unfortunately no date is mentioned for this preview release, but “we likely still have at least one more week of engineering to do” says Gabriel Aul from Microsoft.

The list below of the likely supported Lumia phones supported by the next preview release is preliminary and might be subject to change if a device specific bug is found or fixed prior to the next preview release:

• Lumia 1020
• Lumia 1320
