Windows 10 Mobile build 11107 is a pre-release build of Windows 10 Mobile Anniversary Update, which was released to beta testers via the Windows Update servers as an update from Windows Phone 8.1, an existing version of Windows 10 Mobile, and as a delta for build 11106. This build includes a number of updates to Windows 10 Mobile applications, along with minor user interface changes.It is the last build of Windows 10 Mobile to be compiled before its build number (as internally, it was still different between both codebases) was synchronized with its desktop counterpart, which was made to fully complete the synchronization of the mobile and desktop codebase, causing the build number to jump from build 11107 to build 14250.
