How to Get Windows Phone 8.1
Windows Phone 8.1 has already launched. It offers lots of new features including Cortana, a new digital voice assistant that sounds a good deal more advanced than the iPhone’s Siri.
However, you can’t simply download the software if you’re an average person with, for example, a Nokia Lumia 925 phone. Mobiles like this will get an update, but we’re unlikely to see it until much later this year. The official public release happens this summer.

- Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators: The Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators package adds six emulator images to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2013 so you can test how apps will work on phones running Windows Phone 8.1. (Requires Visual Studio 2013 with Update 2 or later.) INSTALL EMULATORS: Windows Phone 8.1 Update and Emulators.
- Jun 21, 2017 It is not recommended that you restore a Windows 10 backup to a Windows 8 phone. To avoid Phone Backup Overwrite after switching to Windows 10, you must rename the device. You can do this by going to Settings System About and tapping Edit name. The phone can be reverted back to Windows 8 using the Windows Device Recovery Tool.
This download is licensed as freeware for the Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) operating system on a laptop or desktop PC from mobile phone tools without restrictions. Lumia Software Recovery Tool 8.1.25 is available to all software users as a free download for Windows 10 PCs but also without a hitch on Windows 7 and Windows 8. It is not recommended that you restore a Windows 10 backup to a Windows 8 phone. To avoid Phone Backup Overwrite after switching to Windows 10, you must rename the device. You can do this by going to Settings System About and tapping Edit name. The phone can be reverted back to Windows 8 using the Windows Device Recovery Tool. Windows can also download device software and info. This might include an app that the device manufacturer created to go with your device or info like the product name, manufacturer, and model number, to help you distinguish between similar devices.
There are ways to get Windows Phone 8.1 for your phone right now, though. You need to pose as a developer, as the system is currently available for developers to get their apps working for the system ahead of its full release.
You should note, though, that installing Windows Phone 8.1 as an ‘unofficial’ build like this will void your warranty. And you can’t easily revert to Windows Phone 8.0 if something goes wrong. Proceed with caution.
Step one is telling Microsoft that you’re a developer. It’s simpler than you might think. Just go to the Windows Phone app studio website and click on ‘Start a New Project’. This is a tool for developers to create simple web apps. There’s no cost involved – you just need to enter your Microsoft Live account login – probably Outlook or an old Hotmail account.
Next, go to the Windows Phone Store on your mobile phone.

Download ‘Preview for Developers’, the app that lets developers get an early look at new versions of the Windows Phone system. Again, this is totally free to download.
Once installed, load up the app and enter your Live login details once more. This gives your phone the go-head that you’re ‘allowed’ to download Windows Phone 8.1 early.

Now leave the app and go to the phone’s Settings menu and select Phone Update. Your mobile will start downloading the new Windows Phone 8.1 software. Again, we strongly recommend backing up any essential data before updating, and think twice before doing this at all.
There are a bunch of new things to check out in Windows Phone 8.1, including the Action Center notifications menu, Internet Explorer 11 and the ability to use a picture as the background for the Live Tiles home screen.
One of our very favourite new features, though, is the swipe keyboard. In Windows Phone 8 you have to tap away at keys, but Windows Phone 8.1 gives you the option to draw a line over the characters, Swype-style.
Perhaps the most headline-grabbing update, though, is Cortana, Microsoft’s Siri alternative. To get this working in the UK, though, you need to set your region to US in the phone’s menu as it has not been ‘released’ for UK English yet.

I am a normal windows phone user..I want to suggest few things.. which are pretty basic
- Add user album support i.e. users should be able to sort out photos & put them in the album created by them ..not just standard available albums..
- Improve native file manager ..users should be able to see pdfs, docs, you tube downloaded videos directly in mobile's native file manager..without the need to open them by gng into specific app
- the action centre should show all the background downloading that is gng on..through windows app store or any other third party app
- Multitasking should be made more 'real' apps should get continued from where user had left them, clipboard text should not get wiped out when you turn back to to clipboard etc.
- I don't want android apps I want an OS as polished and mature as Android..& apps as powerful as android apps

I don't know how much of concerns I mentioned above are already addressed in coming WP OS 10 . Please make me know. And if u cant do that by putting **** reasons like '
built around a seamless, unified design, not a mish-mash of broken code that will just destabilize your phone.' don't dream of competing with Android. Or accept that Microsoft doesn't have enough wisdom & ability to build a good smartphone OS. An OS is not build for satisfaction of company ' its built for users'
