This Is Why Windows 10 Technical Preview Was Not Released For High-end Devices
Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones is out and for the moment it runs only on six devices - Lumia 630, Lumia 635, Lumia 636, Lumia 638, Lumia 730, and the Lumia 830.
Win10 for phones preview do not support high-end Lumia devices such as Lumia 1520, Lumia Icon and Lumia 930. Why ? Microsoft gave the following reason-
Some context on why we chose these and not higher end phones like the 930/Icon or 1520: We have a feature that will be coming soon called “partition stitching” which will allow us to adjust the OS partition dynamically to create room for the install process to be able to update the OS in-place. Until this comes in, we needed devices which were configured by mobile operators with sufficiently sized OS partitions to allow the in-place upgrade, and many of the bigger phones have very tight OS partitions.
Note that this doesn’t mean that Windows 10 will take more disk space than Windows Phone 8.1, it’s just a function of the upgrade process at this point. Once the partition stitching feature is completed, many more devices will be supported.
So, if you own a high-end Lumia handset you will need to wait for some time to get the Windows 10 technical preview.
