Top Windows Phone news of the week: WM10 8GB minimum, Insider ends soon, lots of Insiders
This week in Windows Phone we heard about the minimum memory requirement for Windows 10 Mobile, that quite a few have participated in the Insider Program, and that said program is coming to an end.
A German Windows 10 Mobile site posted that the new OS has an 8GB minimum requirement to run. This fits with Microsoft's list of phones to get the upgrade as they all have at least this much storage.
This requirement means owners of Windows Phones with less than 8GB are out of luck.

Microsoft's Insider Preview for Mobile program will end on October 1. This is the program that allows early adopters to test Windows 10 Mobile and provide critical feedback to the company.
