Windows 10 Mobile Update: More Redstone Builds to be available in January

Microsoft has released at least one or two builds of Windows 10 Mobile in the recent past. However, fresh information suggests that more builds will be made available to the users starting this month.

Gabe Aul, who is pioneering the Windows Insider program, has stated on the official Windows Blog that users who are on the Fast Ring of the Insider program have desired Microsoft to release more builds at a faster pace. Hence, the Redmond giant will be releasing more Windows 10 builds in this month.

To ensure more builds are available to Insiders, Microsoft is currently re-examining the ring promotion criteria. The new criteria will be similar criteria available for the internal rings of Microsoft, which indicates Windows 10 Mobile builds will be released at a faster rate to users on Fast Ring.

One should be aware of the fact that builds that are released at a faster pace are likely to accompany bugs and performance issues. In order to avoid buggy builds, users are recommended to downgrade to Slow Ring. This can be done by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Advanced Options and then select Slow Ring listed under Get Insider Preview builds.

The upcoming Redstone build will bring newer features but are very likely to come with newer bugs. According to WM Power User, it may be the right to quit the Insider program since the release of the Windows 10 Mobile TH2, a stable build is around the corner.

Microsoft has revealed through its official Lumia Twitter account that Windows 10 Mobile update will be released soon. It will be available for eligible Windows Phone 8.1 devices that are running on Lumia Denim OS version 8.10.14219.341. The Windows 10 Mobile OS can be installed on those devices that have at least 8 GB of native storage.
