Problems updating to Windows 10 preview from Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 should be over

As we established during yesterday's rollout of the latest Windows 10 preview for phones, there's first an update to Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 to take place on phones that haven't been running the first build. Unfortunately, after the Update 2 finished installing for many there was no onward route to Windows 10. Now, according to Microsoft's Gabe Aul, things should be fixed and back to normal.

"@GabeAul: If you were stuck on GDR2 and not getting the update to W10 offered, try checking for updates now. We believe it is sorted out."
