[Information]: Some of the phones may need to go through the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 before installing Windows 10.

New features:
- Project Spartan browser and new rendering engine

Detailed information about all new features will be published shortly, stay tuned.
[UPDATE]: The update has been delayed because of an error in the database for provisioning record data. Microsoft needs 2 hours to fix the issue. The update should be live at 1 PM PT, 9 PM London
