Big day, first update worldwide (and more to come) to all phones running #Windows10 - same build as PC!

The update brings the build number of the PC chain up to 10586.29, the same as the latest Windows 10 Mobile build, which Microsoft made available to Windows Insiders a few days ago.

Earlier today, Microsoft released the same build as its first general update to the mobile OS for those not on the Insider program; 10586.29 is now rolling out to the Lumia 550, 950 and 950 XL - the only Windows 10 Mobile devices currently available - around the world.
