    Suspicious phone call


    Started my computer this morning (Windows 10) and various pop-ups with notices of script issues and unable to load and insert Windows disc … I did nothing and just rebooted … all went fine however my home screen icons was reorganized! … then I got a telephone message from [Removed by Moderator] telling me that security software (no name given) that was installed last year has been flagged and I needed to call this number back right away! … NO! … however - does anyone know anything about this number or this issue? I do not recall installing any security software … the coincidence of the morning unusual log on AND the phone call are a bit disconcerting ...

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.

    When my phone fails to upgrade I just keep trying. One upgrade took 3 or 4 tries.

    I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store
