    Note Download and install the preview only if you
    • Aren't installing it on your primary phone. If you have a backup phone, that's a perfect candidate for Insider Preview.
    • Want to try out software that’s still in development and like sharing your opinion about it.
    • Don’t mind lots of updates or a UI design that might change significantly over time.
    • Really know your way around Windows Phone and feel comfortable troubleshooting problems, backing up data, or restoring your original operating system if something goes wrong.
    Microsoft is not kidding about the expert thing. So if you think APN is a cable news network, Insider Preview may not be right for you.

    Things to keep in mind

    Unexpected phone crashes could damage or even delete your files, so you should back up everything. Some hardware—like Bluetooth speakers—might not work, and some apps might not install or work correctly. You might also have trouble connecting to home or corporate networks.

    Your detailed usage and device data, including personal information, will automatically go to Microsoft and our partners to improve our products and services. See the privacy statement for more information.


    When downloading updates on your phone, keep it plugged in or make sure your screen is on until the download is complete.

    The Windows Insider app will be set to automatically install important updates as they become available. You won’t be able to turn off automatic updates in Windows Insider Preview .

    To change when preview builds are installed, open the Windows Insider app, and then select Preview builds. Select the top list, and then select Fast or Slow to choose how often builds are installed.


    System requirements
    • A phone currently running Windows Phone 8.1
    • A phone on the list of supported phones for Technical Preview below
    • A Microsoft account and Internet access

    For some reason i'm unable to get any of the new redstone builds, even though I've selected fast ring. I'm getting redstone builds on my PC with the same Microsoft account i'm using on my phone. I seem to be stuck with the release preview ring.

    I have a Lumia 520.
