Earlier this evening, Microsoft released Windows 10 Mobile Build 101512 to Windows Insiders on the fast ring. If you’re already using Windows 10 Mobile, you should be able to upgrade to Build 10512 without any issues. However, if you’re trying to upgrade from Windows Phone 8.1, you’ll have to upgrade to Build 10166 first, and then upgrade to 10512.
