From DailyTech: Windows 10 by Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) is expected to become the singular OS for all Windows PCs, as a free upgrade for Windows 8.1 users. When it launches sometime later this year, the OS is also expected to become the operating system of the Xbox One and Windows smartphones (which currently run Windows Phone 8.1). With public beta testing of Windows 10 on the PC front humming along, a natural question is "how do I test the upcoming OS on my smartphone."
Simply put, the answer is you can't. Not yet, at least.
But that's about to change, according to reports. The buzz started when Windows smartphones received a new Microsoft app called "Phone Insider", which replaces the previous "Preview for Developers" app. The app first leaked in beta form ("Windows Previewer Beta") via Jeremy Sinclair, a Windows Phone developer and XDA forum moderator.
While that app didn't drop any clear-cut signs of an impending Windows 10 preview release for smartphones, it did certainly seem like a step Microsoft would take towards such a rollout. Rumored titles for the phone variant of Windows 10 included "Windows 10 Mobile" and "Windows 10 for Phones".
ZDNet's editor Mary Jo Foley always has a close finger on the pulse of Microsoft via her insider contacts. She reported this week that she was "confident" that her insider sources had the scoop on the release window for this high-interest build -- sometime next month.
