Windows 10 on phones and small tablets

As an IT pro, your first concern is probably about supporting Microsoft Windows 10 on desktop PCs and laptops. But the unified Windows 10 platform is designed to run on more than just PCs. For phones and small tablets, that means Windows 10 Mobile. The version of Windows 10 that runs on mobile devices is built on the same core code as Windows 10 for desktop PCs, and it runs the same

universal apps, delivered through the same Windows Store, as its desktop counterpart. The first public release of Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones was in February 2015, with only a handful of phones supported. An updated preview release in April extended coverage to a much larger device population but is still far from complete, especially compared with Windows 10 builds for desktop PCs. In April, Microsoft also released several Microsoft Office apps—Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote—for use on mobile devices. Although the roadmap for this version of Windows 10 includes small tablets, that category exists only in theory today. You can install the Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones on devices like the Lumia 1520, which has a 6-inch screen and can easily act like a tablet. (In fact, phones with extra-large screens are sometimes referred to as “phablets” because of their ability to shift roles between phone and tablet.)
