The mobile version of Windows 10 is a mobile operating system developed by Microsoft, succeeding both Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows RT. It will primarily aim to bring tighter integration and unification with its PC counterpart, and provide a platform for both smartphones and small tablets with ARM system-on-chips.

Development

In July 2014, Microsoft's new CEO Satya Nadella explained that the company was planning to "streamline the next version of Windows from three operating systems into one single converged operating system for screens of all sizes," unifying Windows, Windows Phone, and Windows Embedded around a common architecture and a unified application ecosystem. However, Nadella stated that these internal changes would not have any effect on how the operating systems are marketed and sold. On September 30, 2014, Microsoft unveiled Windows 10; Terry Myerson explained that Windows 10 would be Microsoft's "most comprehensive platform ever," providing a single, unified platform for desktop computers, laptops, tablets, smartphones, and all-in-one devices.

The mobile version of Windows 10 was publicly unveiled during a press event on January 21, 2015.

Features

The home screen wallpaper is now displayed behind the tiles rather than inside them. The notification area was upgraded to create the "Action Center", which can sync notifications between Windows 10 for PC, and supports quick reply for messages.
