  1. Hi

    Downloaded windows 10 for Lumia 1320 and it continually said loading and did nothing. Following your instructions did the hard reset and this worked for a while. But it seems to have half reloaded win 10 again. I am not wiping the entire phone and doing a complete windows 8 rebuild by doing a factory reset and hope this works.

    I will let you know.
