The Windows 10 for Phones preview just got more awesome. Microsoft recently adopted a very welcome strategy on the desktop with plans for Windows Insiders to be able to upgrade directly to the final version.
As in preview to RTM release.
And while Windows 10 for Phones preview is only available for a few handsets right now, there is every chance that this test version will be downloaded by millions when it becomes available on more devices.
For this reason, it is quite critical for these users to have a smooth upgrade path.
Good thing then that this is exactly what Microsoft is working on right now. The company plans to allow Windows Insiders easy upgrades to the final RTM version — without the need for a clean install. It also reduces the risk of errors and issues that may arise during the process.
Gabriel Aul said that this is their intent:
@avladd That is our intent yes. Bugs are always possible. This is a technical preview.

Referring to preview to RTM upgrades here.
If anything, this is what Microsoft plans for all current versions of Windows, particularly as it wants these users to upgrade to Windows 10 within the first year of launch.
Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users will be offered the possibility of upgrading to Windows 10 via the integrated Windows Update feature in these operating platforms. Only makes sense to deliver a similar experience for the phone operating system.
