However, if you’re a Windows Mobile Insider with a phone other than a retail Windows 10 device, i.e. Lumia 950, 950 XL, or 550 and in the Fast ring, you won’t see it. You’ll need to take a couple of steps to get it.
Get Windows 10 Mobile Build 10586.164 on a Non-Retail Phone
In this example, I have a Lumia 640 and participating in the Windows Insider Program’s Fast ring. Launch the Windows Insider app and switch to the Slow or Release Preview ring and get the update. After that, go back into the Windows Insider app and switch back to the Fast ring.
To confuse things a bit more, if you are using a Lumia 950, 950 XL, or Lumia 550 and running the Redstone preview – this update doesn’t apply to you at all. Still not sure what’s going on? Well, to help you out, Microsoft explains what’s happening on this Q&A page.
