However, the glitches they may experience will be at their own personal risks. According to Microsoft, the Windows Phone 8.1 Update Emulators may be downloaded by everyone through the company's App Studio Program.
"The Windows Phone 8.1 Update Emulators package adds additional emulator images to an existing installation of Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 or later. With this update installed, you can create and test apps that will run on devices that have Windows Phone 8.1 Update," Microsoft shared.
