In this scenario, we would suggest you to perform a Software and Hardware clean boot and then try to upgrade to Windows 10. Also unplug all external devices from the PC. Put the PC in software clean boot, refer the article How to perform a clean boot in Windows. A ‘clean boot’ starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs.

Depending on who you talk to, one of the coolest parts of the new Windows Phone OS coming to devices in the next few months is the ability to run Android apps. Yes, you heard me correctly: you will be able to run Android apps on your Windows Phone 10 device. With the preview releases coming out on a regular basis lately it’s good to see we’re getting a little bit closer to having this ability in everyone’s hands soon, but in the meantime the question really is: how do I get to try this now?
Getting your device setup
The first thing you’re going to have to do is get setup with Windows Phone 10.
Firstly, check whether your device is on the supported list: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-supported-phones
|

|
If you’re lucky enough to have a supported device the next step is to simply follow this guide and download the Windows Insider app to upgrade your phone to Windows Phone 10.
It takes a while to install, but don’t worry about me, I'll just sit here and wait for you…
Note: Windows Phone 10 is a preview operating system. It’s not 100% stable, may behave strangely/delete your data and isn’t generally recommended for everyday usage.
Turning developer mode on
Once you’ve got Windows Phone 10 up and running on your device.
You’ll want to then open up your settings app on the phone, and search for “developer mode”. Which should return the developer mode settings screen.
Select “developer mode” and turn on discovery.
Downloader the side-loader
In order to side-load Android APKs onto your phone you’ll need to download and install a Microsoft internal application called APKTOW10M available from here.
Once you’ve installed the app, launch it and connect your phone via USB.
On your phone, with the above developer screen open, click “Pair” to connect it to your desktop device. Your phone will give you a code – enter it into the text box of the APKTOWIN10M app. This will permanently pair your desktop and laptop.
Now you’re ready to install an Android app on your Windows Phone.
Installing apps
To install an Android app on your Windows Phone 10 device you’ll need to grab yourself an APK (the Android package format) of your favourite app so that you can side load it.
Android has a pretty notorious reputation for app piracy, so if you look hard enough this shouldn’t be too hard to find the app of your choice.
For people like you and I who respect the hard work that goes into developing apps, you can grab yourself some open source apps over at F-Droid https://f-droid.org/
Find an example app that you’d like to try out, and download the APK. In my example i’m going to be side-loading the Acrylic Paint app.
Drag-and-drop the app onto the APKTOW10M app, and click install.
Once complete, switch over to your phone and you should see the new app in your “Recently added” list.
Final thoughts
When this feature was first announced, a number of commentators such as Paul Thurott said that this feature was a bit of a death spiral move for Windows Phone.
After using Android apps on Windows Phone though I’m not so sure if I agree. In general I’ve loved using Windows Phone for a number of years as my “daily driver” device simply because in my opinion it “works better” when it comes to getting stuff done; full office, a great version of outlook mobile and always packaged with some great hardware on the flagship devices such as my current Lumia 930.
Having Android apps on my phone has just made it better as I have the awesomeness of Windows Phone’s OS, with the additional support of any of the apps I may not have had previously. I’m hoping that this only does good things for Windows Phone in the future. As someone who actively switched from an iPhone and stayed I can say that it’s a great ecosystem, that seems to simply have had less love than it deserves – here’s hoping the addition of Android apps is able to provide some of this long missed user affection.
Update 1/12/2016
I can confirm that the final version of Windows Phone 10 did not ship with Android app support. Varying reports have commented on whether the support has been completely halted, or simply postponed, only time will see. I for one hope that the feature makes a return as it definitely allowed me to enjoy both the superior Windows Phone UI and product quality (ie high rez cameras etc), while having the option of using Android’s expansive app catalog.
-->If your device is hard to use because of an issue, or if you want to switch out of the Dev Channel or stop receiving preview builds, you might need to use an ISO for a clean installation or in-place upgrade. ISOs are available for both Windows 10 Insider Preview Builds and for Windows.
In-place upgrade with a Windows Insider Preview ISO
Download your chosen ISO from the Windows Insider ISO page by saving it to a location on your device or creating a bootable USB.
Open File Explorer and go to where you saved the ISO. Select the ISO file to open it, which lets Windows mount the image so you can access it.
Select the setup.exe file to launch the install process.
During setup, select the Keep Windows settings, personal files, and apps option.
Once it's finished installing, go to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program to make sure your Windows Insider settings are correct.
Clean installation with a Windows Insider Preview ISO
Back up all your files and applications. A clean install with a Windows Insider Preview ISO will erase all of your files, settings, and applications.
Download your chosen ISO from the Windows Insider ISO page by saving it to a location on your device or creating a bootable USB.
Open File Explorer and go to where you saved the ISO. Select the ISO file to open it, which lets Windows mount the image so you can access it.
Select the setup.exe file to launch the install process.
During setup, select the Change what to keep option, and then choose Nothing on the next screen to complete a clean intall.
Once it's finished installing, make sure your Windows Insider settings are correct.
In Windows 10, go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Insider Program
In Windows 11, go to Settings > Windows Update > Windows Insider Program
Creating a bootable USB for Windows Insider ISOs
If you're having certain issues that prevent you from downloading an ISO to your device, or you need to quickly set up a new device in the Windows Insider Program, a bootable USB made from a Windows Insider ISO file can help.
Note
There are many third-party software applications that are capable of converting a USB drive into a bootable format. We're using Rufus in this example since it's free and lightweight on system resources. You can use any software that can format the USB into a bootable format and convert the ISO into the decompiled installation files.
Download your chosen ISO from the Windows Insider ISO page by saving it to a location on your device you can easily remember.
Connect a USB drive that's at least 8GB. Back up any data on the drive you want to save, because any data on it will erased.
Launch Rufus or your preferred software.
Configure the Rufus menu options:
If you have multiple drives connected via USB (external hard drive, thumb drive, etc.), make sure you select the right device from the dropdown.
Partition scheme and target system type should be set to MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI.
File system should be set to NTFS. If for some reason this doesn't work on your device, you can re-create it using FAT32.
Cluster size can stay on 4096 bytes (Default)
For New volume label, enter a name of your choosing.
Under Format Options, 1 Pass should be selected from the first dropdown. Select the checkboxes beside Quick format, Create a bootable disk using, and Create extended label and icon files. Beside Create a bootable disk using, choose ISO Image from the dropdown, then select the disk icon next to the dropdown and navigate to the ISO file you downloaded.
Select Start, and Rufus will format your USB and decompile the ISO.
Once it's finished, you're all set. Now you can use it on a device.
If you use this drive to upgrade a device that already has Windows on it, connect it to the device, open File Explorer, locate the drive, and launch setup.exe to get started.
If you use this drive to do a clean Windows install, connect it to the device and reboot. You may also need to adjust your BIOS or UEFI settings to allow it to boot from a USB-based drive.
