Installation:
First things first, please make sure you have “Preview for developers app” still installed and you are signed in and have enabled it for update. If not, you may not get any “update available” prompt when checking for update.
Now go to Settings—>Phone update—> check for updates. Once prompted let it download the update. 8.10.12382.878 update is about 22 MB in size and the whole installation experience takes 15-20 minutes including data restore post update. Once the update is done you will be informed. Check the above screenshots.
Changelog:
While this is mostly a Bug Fixing and Battery life enhancement kind of update, here are few improvements I could notice.
- New Cortana animations including new bouncing ball avatar
- Bing rewards are now available and can be accessed from Cortana search settings
- Battery life is certainly better than before
