Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones now available to download!

It's here! Microsoft has today flipped the switch and released its promised Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones. Outside of what we saw at the Redmond event on January 21, this is our first real opportunity to take a look at the next major version of Windows for smartphones.

If you're already enrolled in the Windows Insider program, to download it you'll need the Windows Insider app on your phone and from there the rest is relatively easy.

If you haven't yet signed up and downloaded the app, fear not, it won't take much of your time, just follow the links below to get cracking. It's also a good idea to consider, if you didn't already, whether or not it's a good idea for you to install the preview on your phone. We've got a post linked below with a few pointers to help you decide.
