Turning your windows phone into a developers device

 As I mentioned earlier the updates are available only for Developer Devices so first you have to make your device a Developer device here's how

• To become a developer register in the Microsoft App Studio for free by using the same email id as you have used in your Windows phone. (You can also register by paying some bucks and publish your apps in the Windows Store  if you want to do so register here )
• You can also download  Windows Phone App Studio on your device and register with the email id you used to login to your device. 
• Both the above methods will register you as a developer.

• Now open the app and Read everything you see before proceeding to the next screen ( understand that the warranty will no longer be applicable to your device once you sign up for the program untill the update is officially released).
