    hi dear microsft. a few days ago i receved a phone call from a person who introduced himself as a microsoft representative or agent. he told me he can see my computer is full of viruses and can be hacked and he can help me to fix that problem. for that he wants me to download a teamviewer and to give him an access to my PC. thats very strange for me, also strange that it was a call to my wifes number which has nothing about it. thanks in advance and waiting for your recomendations

    :)

    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.

    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

    You are both now added, welcome! *Toast :toast:

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