Microsoft has started rolling out Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.29 to locked and unlocked Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL devices. This update comes to the users who are not part of the Insider Preview program as Insiders received the same update only yesterday.
Windows 10 Mobile update reaches to Lumia handsets:
Microsoft releasing software update to non-Insiders this fast only proves that the company is definitely bypassing carriers to push out timely and consistent updates to its users. In the past carriers have created longer delays for OS updates sent out to locked Windows devices. However, today's rollout reaffirms that Windows 10 Mobile devices will receive more consistent updates - something that will be highly appreciated by the users.
All the Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL users, including Lumia 950 on AT&T, can now update their handsets to the latest Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.29 even if they are not part of the Insider program.
