The latest Windows 10 preview for phones still won't work with some Lumia 640 devices

Microsoft launched the new 10080 preview build of Windows 10 for phones Thursday, just this new version of the Bone still won't work with some models of the Lumia 640, due to an Os upgrade path issue.

You may remember that the terminal Windows x for phones preview had a similar issue with some Lumia 640 devices, and it appears that aforementioned kind of bug is nowadays with the 10080 build. Specifically, if your Lumia 640 has either Bone version 8.x.15127.138 or viii.10.15135.146 installed, the new Windows 10 for phones preview cannot be installed.

A rep for Microsoft explained what was going on in a company support bulletin lath:

"To get from WP8 up to Win10, at that place has to be a software update path created. When an update is fabricated bachelor on the server, your on-device OS checks to see where y'all are currently (what version it has), where yous'll be going (what is new on the server), and it validates that in that location is a valid path between the two. To over-simplify information technology, recall of being in city A (WP viii.ane), wanting to go to city B (Win10), and having a map that shows your device how to get there (the update path). The event for users hitting the electric current "no build" situation... is that there'southward no map in identify. The software update path from your current Os build up to the new Win10 build is not in place yet."

Microsoft is nonetheless working on a solution to this trouble but the rep added, "It's going to take a bit of work to complete this." They hope to have an update on this situation erstwhile early next week
