Microsoft may be working on ways to get Windows 10 to run on Android devices, but with the next major test release of Windows 10 Mobile will be hitting a majority of Windows Phones.
The company released the first test build of Windows 10 Mobile in February, but it supported just a handful of Lumia devices – 630, 635, 636, 638, 730 and 830, to be precise.
In a March 27 blog post however, the company said that the second test build (which will not be available until the first week of April, will support a majority of Windows mobile devices. The list is as follows:
- Lumia 1020
- Lumia 1320
- Lumia 1520
- Lumia 520
- Lumia 525
- Lumia 526
- Lumia 530
- Lumia 530 Dual Sim
- Lumia 535
- Lumia 620
- Lumia 625
- Lumia 630
- Lumia 630 Dual Sim
- Lumia 635
- Lumia 636
- Lumia 638
- Lumia 720
- Lumia 730
- Lumia 730 Dual SIM
- Lumia 735
- Lumia 810
- Lumia 820
- Lumia 822
- Lumia 830
- Lumia 920

- Microsoft Lumia 435 Dual SIM DTV

The biggest exception from the above list of possible supported devices is the Lumia 930, which Microsoft says is due to a bug unique to that devices which it is still trying to track down.
According to Microsoft, the first Windows 10 Mobile build wasn’t supported across a wide spectrum of Lumia devices due to very tight OS partitions, and the partition stitching feature code that required to support the above mentioned devices came in late last week.
