Finally succeeded installing Windows 10 Technical Preview for phones
What should have been easy and routine did not work that way. It needed a lot of preparation before installing the Technical Preview using the Windows Insider app from Windows Store.
The major steps were:
1. Resting the Windows Phone 8.1 to its factory setting which required using the Windows Phone Recovery Tool
2. Using the Windows Insider app to download and install the Technical Preview.
3. Soft resetting the phone a number of times
Windows 10 Technical Preview can be installed on a large number of Nokia/Microsoft phones and each may present some kind of problem or another. It took nearly 3 to 4 days to complete the task.

After it is installed the phone gets switched off. When you switch on the phone you will be greeted by this:
