Microsoft to Release Windows 10 Mobile on November 12

November 12th is the day on which Microsoft will be releasing the fall update for the Windows 10 PC, also called as Threshold 2 but it sure does has some other surprises in its kitty as well. Windows 10 Mobile will be released on the same day and the update dubbed “Fall refresh” will seed for both Windows 10 PC and Windows Mobile.

Both the builds are said to be stable and successfully address the bugs from the previous builds. The obvious question that follows is when Windows 10 Mobile will start seeding for all the devices. The answer to this question is twofold, first things first, even if Microsoft is ready with the updates right away it will still depend on the carriers as they supposedly require generous amount of time for testing purposes and the updates will seed region wise thus delaying the process further. As of now, Lumia devices like Lumia 540, 434, 640, 640 XL are expecting the Windows 10 Mobile update shortly.

Windows Insiders on the other hand will be treated to another update with build number 10586 which will give us a sneak peek on what the November 12 update has in store for us. Alongside the updates, it is most likely that Microsoft will announce the release date of Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL which are expected to start shipping by end of November or Early December this year.

Microsoft wants to strengthen its commitment to its ecosystem and in a way wants to show off its strength. It would be a spectacular scene to see the Redmond giant pull away with all the three updates on a single day and this speaks volumes about the fact that how Microsoft wants to reinvent itself.

Microsoft will officially release Cortana to Windows 10 users in India this month

Microsoft has launched Windows 10 worldwide, including India, but none of its Windows 10 Mobile-based smartphones are available in India yet. The company’s digital voice assistant, Cortana, is a part of Windows 10 operating system for desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones. However, the company didn’t release Cortana in India yet. Now, it is being reported that Cortana will be activated after a software update that will roll out on November 10.

According to a comment from Ashish Sondhi, a Microsoft Support Engineer, on the company’s Microsoft Answers Forum, “Cortana will be available in India after November update releasing on November 10th, 2015.” The Windows 10 Fall Update is also known as Threshold 2, and is already available to Windows Insider Fast Ring users, but it will be released to general consumers on November 10.

Windows 10 users could already use Cortana by changing their language from Indian English to UK English or US English. The said update will also bring some other changes to the operating system such as a redesigned Start Menu for adding more Live Tiles, improvements to the Edge browser, and the brand new Skype-based messaging app. The company will also release Windows 10-based Microsoft Lumia 950, Microsoft Lumia 950XL, and Microsoft Lumia 550 in India this month.
