How do I get Windows Phone 8.1 on my device?
Getting Windows Phone OS 8.1 New devices sold into market from June 2014 will have
Windows Phone 8.1 pre-installed All devices running Windows Phone 8.0 are capable of
being upgraded to Windows Phone 8.1 Availability of upgrades for contract devices is under the control of
the Mobile Operator Registered developers can upgrade their phone through
the ‘Preview for Developers’ program Developers who have signed up for a developer account at

When the ‘proper’ update is released by your MO/OEM, you will get that update as normal
Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Platform
Bringing one Windows to developersWindows 8.1 provides developers with a shared platform that renders the right app experience for the right form-factor
Designed once; engaging everywhere• Converged developer platform• Converged app model• Shared app identities + entitlement• Unified push services (via WNS)
Apps come to life on Windows• Live tile improvements• Action Center for smart notifications• Background execution + triggers• Bluetooth-LE support for wearables +
beacons• Internet Explorer 11 improvements
Platform convergence is a journey…Windows Phone 7.5 Windows Phone 8.0 Windows Phone
8.1Convergence Begins with IE• WP 7.5 shipped with IE9• Same IE codebase as
Windows• Same JavaScript engine
as Windows
Converged Core OS• Common NT kernel, file
system and core networking
• Kernel mode driver f/work
• Secure boot & BitLockerDeveloper Platform• Partial API convergence
(focus on sensors & IAP)• Native Code (C++) and
DirectX• IE10
Converged Dev Platform• More skillset reuse• More code reuse• More seamless app
experiencesAligning the Stores• Shared dev registration• Shared entitlementCommon Core Platform• Proximity & Location
frameworks• Security & identity• Task scheduler
API convergence across the Windows platform
The Windows Runtime (WinRT) is the shared runtime and API space used by store apps across the Windows platform (phone and client)
CommonWinRT APIs
Phone-specificWinRT APIs
Windows-specificWinRT APIs
Dramatic convergence in 8.1• Goal is 100% convergence for dev scenarios• In 8.0, we had ~30% API convergence• With 8.1, we move well past 90%+ convergence

Windows Phone 8.1 XAML app development…Three Approaches:Approach Pros & Cons
Keep using Silverlight 7.x/8(Windows Phone 8 platform)
Pros Will run on Windows Phone 8.1 (app
compatibility), still runs on earlier Windows Phone devices
Cons Will not take advantage of new platform
capabilities Will not enable targeting of Windows
Use Silverlight 8.1(Move Silverlight app into new execution stack and app package)
Pros Enables existing Silverlight apps to take
advantage of nearly all new APIs and platform capabilities
Cons Will not enable targeting of Windows Will not run on Windows Phone 8 devices
Use Windows RT platformPros
Enables targeting of Windows and Windows Phone
Takes full advantage of new APIs and platform capabilities
Better performance & reduced memory useCons Will not run on Windows Phone 8 devices

Windows Phone 8.1 Platform PrinciplesPrimary features:
Existing Windows Phone 8 apps run flawlesslyWindows Runtime XAML platform and HTML/WinJS support brings convergence with Windows 8.1, and is faster and uses less memory than SilverlightThe core of an app can be built once for Windows and Windows Phone; you can share elements of UI, though it’s best to tailor the user experience for each platform
Convergence is not just in the developer platform: it spans tools, store, commerce Developer investment in the existing Silverlight platform is protected: Existing Silverlight apps can be upgraded to access new Windows Phone 8.1 platform capabilities
Now is the time to build for Windows and Windows Phone!
