Microsoft’s Gabe Aul has confirmed the first Windows 10 for phones (aka Windows Phone 10) was just released.
Users will need to install the Windows Insider app from the store to upgrade to the preview build, which will go live later today. Although Microsoft said every phone would get Windows 10, the preview doesn’t support all current Windows 8.1 devices right away.
 
Windows 10 Technical Preview currently works with the following phones:
  • Lumia 630
  • Lumia 635
  • Lumia 636
  • Lumia 638
  • Lumia 730
  • Lumia 830
Ina addition to being one of the supported models, your phone will need to have at least 8GB of storage and must be running Windows 8.1 (Denim not required). Some phones, regions, and mobile operators might not support Technical Preview, China for example isn’t included in the preview program.

    If you bit off more than you can chew, here's how you go back to stable software.

    "Luckily, it's not hard to roll your phone back to Windows Phone 8.1, at least as long as you have access to a PC and an Internet connection. Download the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (EXE download), install it, and launch it. Connect your phone to your PC, and the app should automatically detect it. Though it won't detect any newer software for your phone, click "reinstall software" and the app will download and reinstall Windows Phone 8.1 for you.
     
    The one caveat about the downgrade process is that, unlike the upgrade process, it doesn't preserve any of your data. If you have photos or other files on your phone that you'd like to keep, offload them to your computer or to an SD card that you remove from the phone before you downgrade. You'll need to get your phone set back up the way you want it afterward, but at this point that may be preferable to running early beta software."
