Windows 10 Mobile empowers you to do great work on any device. It allows

you to be more efficient because your user experience stays consistent. And

because your settings, data, and access rights follow you, you don’t have to

adjust to changes in formatting or layout when you switch between devices.

You can operate your Windows 10 Mobile phone like a PC with Continuum

for phones—and still make and receive calls. For more information about

Continuum for phones, see NOTES, in the Continuum section of this guide.

Every Windows 10 Mobile device comes with the Microsoft Office Mobile

suite built in. Skype for Business, OneDrive for Business, and other

productivity apps can quickly be installed, making it easy to connect and

collaborate with your coworkers, partners, and customers.

What’s new in Windows 10 Mobile

Windows 10 Mobile is built for business. With a consistent experience across phones, tablets, and

PCs, it helps you do great work on any device. Preinstalled Office apps provide excellent

collaboration and communication. Enterprise-grade security meets the strictest requirements to

help protect corporate information and resources without disrupting your productivity. And you can

choose from a wide range of devices that meet your design and technical needs.

New features include:

Windows apps built on the Universal Windows Platform that automatically adapt to different

form factors and screen sizes.

Microsoft Edge—the all-new browser built to give you a better web experience—is made for

easy sharing, reading, discovery, and getting things done online.

PIN-based, Multi-Factor Authentication credentials and Windows Hello biometrics for strong

authentication.

NOTE: Windows Hello requires a specialized illuminated infrared camera for facial

recognition or iris detection, or a fingerprint reader that supports the Windows

Biometric Framework.

Continuum for phones, which lets you connect your phone to a monitor, keyboard, and mouse

to operate your phone like a PC—while still maintaining the ability to make and receive calls.

Key features

Action Center

Now you can dismiss individual items from Action Center, instead of all the items for an app. Just

select the item or items to dismiss, and swipe to the right. You can expand the number of quick

settings buttons, expand a notification to read more of its content, dismiss individual notifications,

and take other actions such as replying to text message notifications—all directly from Action

Center. Action Center also now extends to Windows 10 desktops and laptops.

Continuum

Continuum for phones lets you connect your Windows 10 Mobile device to a monitor, keyboard,

and mouse using a Continuum Display Dock to operate your phone like a PC. Instead of a

zoomed-in view of a phone app on a larger screen, apps scale smoothly to a monitor and unveil

additional navigation and content. When you interact with an app on the larger screen, your phone

can either send or receive calls and texts, or run apps without interrupting the app on the larger

screen.

Figure 1. Windows 10 Mobile phone using Continuum for phones.



NOTES:

A Microsoft Office 365 Business subscription is required for some Office features.

Continuum for phones is limited to select premium Windows 10 Mobile phones at launch.

External monitors must support HDMI input.

Continuum Display Dock and other Continuum-compatible accessories are sold separately.

App availability and experience varies by device and market.

Cortana

Cortana is your digital personal assistant that works across all of your Windows 10 devices to help

you get things done. Cortana helps you be more productive by handling key tasks such as sending

email and scheduling events. Using the power of Bing, Cortana can quickly search your devices, the

cloud, and the web to find what you are looking for. Cortana can automatically track packages and

flight status. By learning more about you over time, Cortana becomes more useful every day.

Tap the search button on your Windows 10 Mobile phone to launch Cortana. A long press on the

search button will launch Cortana in listening mode. For convenience, you can also tap the Cortana

icon in the app list or pin it to your Start screen.

NOTE: Cortana for Windows 10 Mobile phones is available in select markets at launch; the

Cortana experience may vary by region and device.

Easier-to-access messaging

With Windows 10 Mobile, there’s no need to interrupt what you’re doing on your phone to type

out a quick reply to a text. When you receive an incoming message, it appears at the top of your

screen as a notification banner. You can respond to new messages directly from the notification

banner.

When you get a notification, you can:

Pull down on the notification to reply, and when you’re done, you can go right back to what

you were doing before by pressing Start > Back .

Swipe up on the notification to quickly clear it from your screen—or just ignore it and it will

disappear after a few seconds.

Tap the notification to see the entire thread in the Messaging app.

If you can’t take action on the notification before it disappears, you can still reply to the new text

quickly:

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to go to the Action Center, where you’ll see the new

text along with your other unread messages.



2. Tap the arrow to see the entire message and reply to it directly from the Action Center.

NOTE: On a Windows 10 Mobile phone, if you reply to a group message using a banner

notification (that is, by pulling down on the banner and replying inline), your response is sent

as a separate SMS message to each recipient, rather than as a group MMS—even if you have

group texting turned on in your Messaging settings.

File Explorer

Find files saved on your phone—docs, photos, music, and more—using the new File Explorer app.

Within File Explorer, you can select a place (such as Recent or This Device) to find the file you

want. Depending on your specific hardware, you may also see other places—for example, a

removable memory card will show up as a D: drive.

Photos

With new Windows 10 Mobile phones, you can take fantastic pictures with advanced imaging

features—and high-end cameras come standard on select phones. Professional-grade controls and

living images help you get great shots on the go that are ready to share with friends and family.

With the Photos app, you can bring photos and videos from all of your devices together and

automatically upload everything to OneDrive.

Settings

Navigate Settings easier with a new look, organized by function. In addition, Settings now has a

search box so you can quickly find the exact setting you want.

Figure 2. Settings are organized by function and can be searched.

Keyboard improvements

Write faster and easier with new keyboard improvements:

Drag your finger from letter to letter to quickly form a word, then string words together into a

sentence by lifting your finger after each word to insert a space.

Move the keyboard around the screen as needed. On phones with a screen that is five inches

or larger, reposition your keyboard by pressing and holding the spacebar to unlock it. Then



drag your finger up or down the screen to place it. Drag the keyboard to either side of your

screen to lock it in place.

Tap the microphone at the top of the keyboard to dictate what you want to write.

Use the new cursor controller on the keyboard to move between characters and lines easily.

Personalization

Customize your background, sounds, and lock screen (and preview your changes before

committing) with the new Personalization menu in Settings.

Microsoft Edge web browser

All Windows 10 Mobile devices include Microsoft Edge, the new browser built to give a cleaner,

smarter, and better online experience. Use Reading view to clear away distractions while you read

online. Sign in with your Microsoft account to see your favorites and your reading list across all

your Windows 10 devices. For better security, SmartScreen automatically blocks access to

suspicious sites.

Windows Hello

Windows Hello is a more personal way to sign in. It allows you to use facial, fingerprint, or iris

recognition instead of using a PIN or a password. Windows Hello unlocks Windows 10 devices and

gives you access to all of your credentials. This biometric support eliminates the need to remember

passwords, providing a simple, personal experience.

NOTE: Windows Hello requires a specialized illuminated infrared camera for facial

recognition or iris detection, or a fingerprint reader that supports the Windows Biometric

Framework.

The Lumia 950 and 950 XL are ready to use Windows Hello now, and more phones supporting

Windows Hello will be available in the future.

Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap Settings > Accounts >

Sign-in options to set up Windows Hello. (If you don't see a sign-in option for Windows Hello,

your phone doesn't support it.) Once you’re set up, you’ll be able to unlock your phone at a

glance.

NOTE: You may be asked to create a PIN before you can set up Windows Hello.

Windows Store

Easily accessed from your Start screen, Windows Store includes hundreds of thousands of apps to

personalize your Windows 10 Mobile device. All apps are checked for malware before they are

published in Windows Store, helping to protect against threats to your device.

Enrolling in device management

Corporate policies and device enrollment

With Windows 10 Mobile, businesses can implement secure access to corporate resources more

easily than ever before. Using a PIN provides strong authentication with built-in, multi-factor

credentials that can be used with Active Directory, Azure Active Directory, or the Microsoft account

service to enable single sign-on.

Once unlocked with a PIN or Windows Hello facial, iris, or fingerprint scan, phones with Windows 10

Mobile have instant access to all of your authorized applications and data.



The phone also functions as a mobile credential for signing in to other PCs, making it easier to

implement two-factor authentication across your organization. To help ensure secure access to

corporate networks, phones with Windows 10 Mobile support always-on VPN for automatically

blocking malicious applications.

Enrolling your phone in device management pushes security policies to the device and can give you

access to your corporate wireless network, AutoConnect VPN, and internal line of business (LOB)

apps through your organization’s Company Portal.

NOTE: For detailed instructions about enrolling your device and installing apps through your

Company Portal, contact your organization’s network administrator.

Security policies

Device enrollment pushes security policies to your phone. If you have not already set a PIN, you

may be prompted to create one. Device encryption may also be turned on via your organization’s

policy.

Company Portal

You can install the Company Portal app from Windows Store. After you have enrolled in device

management, the Company Portal app gives you access to your organization’s internal LOB apps.

Corporate wireless network

After your device has been enrolled in device management, you should be able to connect to your

organization’s corporate wireless network.

NOTE: It may take up to 15 minutes for the certificates to be pushed to your device.

You can verify that your corporate network is available by doing the following:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap Settings.

2. Tap Network & Wireless > Wi-Fi to make sure Wi-Fi networking is turned on.

Your wireless network should appear under Available Wi-Fi networks.

NOTE: Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) may prevent smartphones from using many

internal on-premises resources directly. To connect to internal resources, contact your

network administrator for instructions on setting up a VPN.

Mobile VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) lets you connect to your corporate network from a remote location.

After your device has been enrolled in device management, the VPN profile will be pushed to your

device (this may take up to 15 minutes).

Getting productive

Workplace apps designed for Windows 10 help you get up and running quickly. Manage important

documents with OneDrive for Business (this requires a Microsoft Office 365 Business subscription),

communicate and collaborate in real time with Skype for Business, and keep on top of your work

email and calendar through Outlook.

Preinstalled Office

Every phone with Windows 10 Mobile is preinstalled with the Office Mobile suite. Office apps on

the Windows Universal Platform like Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote provide a consistent



experience across all devices. Managing email in Outlook Mail is simplified with one-swipe flagging

and deletion, and Outlook Calendar lets you schedule recurring meetings on the go.

OneDrive for Business

With OneDrive for Business you can store, share, and search directly from your Windows 10 Mobile

phone. You can start work on a file on your PC, and then continue on your Windows 10 Mobile

phone—or vice versa.

To get started with OneDrive for Business on your Windows 10 Mobile phone:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap OneDrive .

2. If you see , tap (Menu) to switch to Account settings.

3. Tap Account settings > Account.

4. Tap Add account > Work or school account.

5. Sign in to your work account using your corporate logon credentials.

6. Follow the steps to complete the second authentication factor.

Your OneDrive for Business account should now be available on your phone.

Skype for Business

Windows 10 Mobile also supports Skype for Business, which provides online conferencing and

collaboration.

NOTE: You will need to download Skype for Business from the Windows Store.

With Skype for Business on your Windows 10 Mobile phone, you can:

Conduct online meetings, messaging, calls, video, and sharing with up to 250 people.

Find anyone in the company address book and schedule meetings in Outlook.

Use online status to let people know your availability and see the availability of others.

Benefit from enterprise-grade security and management of your account.

To download Skype for Business:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap Skype for Business .

IMPORTANT: Make sure you tap Skype for Business, not Skype (for personal use).

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure Skype for Business for your work account.



Exchange Sync

You can set up your Windows 10 Mobile phone to synchronize with Outlook (Exchange) to get

real-time access to your corporate email, calendar, and contacts when connected to the Internet or

a Wi-Fi network.

To sync your phone with Exchange:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap Settings .

2. Tap Accounts > Your email and accounts.

3. Tap Add an account and then select Exchange.

4. Enter your corporate account name and password, and then wait while your device discovers

the server and notifies you that your account has been added.

5. When prompted, tap Set to begin the password process. Choose a PIN, and type it in the

Password field. Confirm your PIN by typing it again, then tap Done. Your device should then

sync.

NOTE: If you previously set up a PIN on the phone, you will not be prompted to create a

new one—your old PIN will remain the same. Only a hard reset will clear the device of

the original PIN.

Working with SharePoint Online sites

By using a Windows 10 Mobile phone and SharePoint Online, you can use your phone to view

information on SharePoint sites, collaborate with colleagues, access shared documents, and stay

connected with your work. Recent improvements have made SharePoint Online even more touch

friendly than before. You can use your Windows 10 Mobile phone to:

Open documents. You can view your documents, documents that you’ve recently used in

Word, PowerPoint, or Excel, documents that are shared with you, and documents that you’re

following in SharePoint Online.

Find sites. You can see a list of sites that you’re following in SharePoint Online, and sites that

are promoted by administrators.

Navigate SharePoint Online. You can use navigation links to move from a SharePoint Online

site to OneDrive for Business, or vice versa.

Change your view of some sites. You can switch between “pc view” (full-screen view) and

“Mobile view” (optimized for mobile devices) for some of the sites and libraries that you use in

SharePoint Online.

Mobile view and pc view

In Mobile view, you see the site in a format optimized for your mobile phone. In pc view, you see

the SharePoint Online navigation links, and the page looks virtually identical to what you would see

on a desktop or laptop PC.



To switch to Mobile view:

1. Open a SharePoint Online site in Microsoft Edge.

2. In the lower right corner of the SharePoint page, tap More , and then tap

switch to pc view.

3. To switch back to Mobile view, tap Settings (upper right corner) on the SharePoint Online

3. Tap Mobile version (under Website preference).

4. To switch back to Mobile view, tap Settings on the SharePoint page (upper right corner),

and then tap Mobile view.

Traveling with your device

Whenever you do anything on your phone that requires a network connection, your phone may

connect to a cellular data network to transmit information. You can avoid unexpected charges by

changing your cellular data settings. You can also set a data usage limit in Windows. If you’re

connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi network connection is used instead.

To change the setting for using a cellular data connection:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, tap Settings > Network & wireless, and then tap

Cellular & Sim.

2. Tap Data connection to turn cellular data on or off.



To set a data usage limit:


Data usage.

2. Tap Set limit, and choose a frequency type—Monthly, One time, or Unlimited.

3. Depending on the frequency type, choose the reset or the expiration date.

4. For a monthly or one-time frequency, set a data limit size.

Data roaming

Data roaming occurs when your phone is outside the cellular network area that your mobile

operator uses to send and receive data. Your mobile operator might charge additional fees for data

roaming. By default, your phone is set to “Don’t roam,” but you can change this setting at any time.

To turn cellular data on or off:


Cellular & Sim.

2. Tap Data connection to turn cellular data on or off.

To change your data roaming setting:


Cellular & Sim.

2. Under Data roaming options, choose one of the following:

Don’t roam. When you enter a roaming area, your cellular data connection will be turned

off.

Roam. When you enter a roaming area, your phone will continue to use its cellular data

connection. If available, use a Wi-Fi connection instead of a cellular data connection to

minimize cellular data usage.

International calling

To make an international call:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, tap Phone, and then tap Dial pad.

2. Tap and hold 0 on the Dial pad until the + sign appears.

The plus (+) sign indicates you are making an international call (instead of entering the

international call prefix for the country you are in).

3. Enter the following on the Dial pad:

The plus sign (+) followed by the country or region code

The phone number

For example: To dial a number in Norway, enter +47 followed by the phone number.

4. Tap Call.



Airplane mode

Airlines often require that you turn off connectivity on your phone during flights. Airplane mode is a

setting on your phone that lets you turn off the cellular connection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and near field

communication (NFC) sharing on your phone simultaneously. This way, you can use apps or other

features that do not require a cellular connection.

While your phone is in Airplane mode, you can still turn on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC sharing

separately. Cellular connectivity remains off until you turn Airplane mode off.

To turn Airplane mode on or off:

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, and then tap Settings.

2. Tap Network & wireless > Airplane mode.

3. Turn Status to On or Off.

Update your phone software over the air

When you are notified about an available software update, you can download it directly to your

phone over a Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. Before downloading an update:

Make sure your phone is fully charged, so you don’t lose power during the update. If possible,

connect your phone to an electrical outlet or to a powered USB port on a computer.

For better performance and savings, connect to a Wi-Fi network instead of your cellular data

service. Some updates may require a Wi-Fi connection.

Make sure you have enough storage space on your phone for the update: To check storage

space, press Start and swipe to All apps, then tap Settings > System > Storage.

NOTE: The ability to download updates through a cellular data connection depends on

the size of the updates. Larger updates require a Wi-Fi connection.

Securing your device

Device-based threat protection

Phones with Windows 10 Mobile include hardware-based protection features, like UEFI Secure Boot

and a Trusted Platform Model (TPM) processor, that are designed to prevent any tampering with

startup processes or user credentials. The same level of protection is extended to the platform and

applications with Device Guard, which is designed to ensure that only signed, trusted applications

can run, locking out any potentially dangerous applications.

If a trusted app is somehow compromised, “application sandboxing” (which limits the environment

in which certain code can run) helps prevent malicious code from impacting the system, data, and

other apps. Online threats can also be prevented by using Microsoft Edge, which includes improved

SmartScreen protection designed for identifying and blocking all access to phishing sites without

affecting browser performance.



Resetting your device

There are two ways to reset your Windows 10 Mobile phone:

A soft reset, or reboot, will clear RAM and reboot the device without affecting any settings or

data. Often, rebooting resolves minor issues such as freezing or unexpected behavior.

A hard reset, or factory reset, restores the phone to its factory or out-of-the-box settings. All

your personal content including data, call history, text messages, and apps are erased. Before

you reset your phone, you can back up your data, apps, text messages, photos, and more to

the cloud.

To soft reset your phone:

1. Press and hold the Volume Down and Power buttons.

2. When the device vibrates, release the Power button.

This will reboot the phone.

To hard reset your phone:

WARNING: Hard resetting your phone will erase all content stored on your phone, including

apps, text messages, call history, music, photos, and any settings you have customized.

Before performing a hard reset, be sure to read about reset protection at

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/protect-my-phone. You may be prompted for

your password in order to hard reset the phone.

1. Press Start and swipe to All apps, then tap Settings.

2. Tap System > About.

3. Tap Reset your phone.

4. You will see two warnings:

A message alerting you that resetting your phone will erase all personal content, including

apps, games, pictures, music, and videos, and will restore the factory settings.

A confirmation message.
