How to install this system so that the smartphone (or tablet) worked without failures is now reviewed. In addition to the standard instruction, we will analyze the option of installing the tenth version of this OS on Android devices.
Windows 10 for phone: How to install? Options of action
To begin with, consider the main thing: the "dozen" is best installed on mobile gadgets supported by Microsoft (initially it was Lumia smartphones, and that's not all).
On the other hand, if you can easily reflect, you can solve the problem, how to install Windows 10 on the phone not from the list of recommended devices or with another "Operation" on board, for example Android. True, it will have to do this and risk.
Installation instructions for Windows 10 over Windows Mobile
So, as an example, consider how to install Windows 10 on the Nokia Lumia phone, which has an already installed Windows Mobile 8.1 system.
To begin with, you should register in the so-called support program on the official website. As a rule, it is enough to use its "account". Next, you should agree with all the rules and conditions, as well as indicate yourself as a developer tester.
Now you should go to the Windows Phone Store store and download the Special Windows Insider application from it. It is just designed to install "dozens" in the form of a version of the Technical Preview (by type of how the Media Creation Tool is running for stationary PCs and laptops).
It is better to choose the second option, since in this case a more stable operation of the system is guaranteed. Then agree with the terms of the application.
At the next step, go to the smartphone settings section and select the update menu. After the updates are found, the application will propose them. Agree. Next will be loaded, and after about 30 minutes, a clean "dozen" will stand on the smartphone. As we see, nothing complicated in the process of installation.
Another key moment. We proceed from the fact that Windows 10 is already installed on the phone.

How to install Windows 10 on Android and Hefon: What should I consider first?
Now let's see how to put the tenth version of Windows on a smartphone or tablet with Android OS on board and is it possible to do it at all.
Here it is necessary to take into account several basic moments. First, you can use some emulator "dozens". No, of course, it will not be a full-fledged Windows 10, but if only the use of the "Windows" interface is required, this is the optimal option.
Secondly, the "top ten" in its full form can be delivered, completely flashing the device. Here it starts the greatest difficulties. If versions 7 and 8 on Android devices still somehow can be put, then everything is not so simple with Windows 10. This is due to the fact that not all processor chips of smartphones or tablets on Android support Microsoft's product. Support the installation of "Windows" only processors C and I386, and the first are not calculated for the seventh version. The second work with the "seven" and above.
In addition, the "ten" will take a lot more space in the memory of the device than the existing "android", so that on cheap gadgets, the installation of a new system is absolutely inexpedient. In addition, the new OS can "kill" the old system, and without the possibility of recovery, and if it is established, it can hardly slow down.
Installing Windows 10 over Android
Suppose the user, despite all the advice and caution, still wants Windows 10 to the phone. How to install "Windows" over "Android" without flashing? The problem is quite complicated, nevertheless there is a solution.
To begin with, the SDL.zip archive and the SDLAPP special program in format are downloaded, after which the application is installed in the smartphone, and the archive data is retrieved to the SDL folder. After that, the system image image file is copied to the same directory (usually C.img). Now it remains to run the installation utility and wait for the completion of the process. However, no one gives guarantees of the performance of new and old systems.
Conclusion
Finally, it remains to say that installing Windows 10 on supported devices should not cause problems. But with Android gadgets, you should be very careful, because if you install "Windows" to such a device forcibly, an option is not excluded that in the end it will simply fail completely and completely. So before installing you should think a hundred times. And if you want to have Windows 10, it is best to use system interface emulators. So it will be much safer. Yes, and you can even download them from Play Market, and completely free.
