OS Deployment App DeploymentInfrastructure Deployment
Operating system deployment
Hardware requirements are unchangedMinor changes to Windows 8 logo requirementsSupport for most Windows 7-compatible hardware*No changes to memory, CPU, and disk requirementsDrivers are compatible
Desktop app compatibility is excellentApps that work on Windows 7 and Windows 8 are expected to work on Windows 8.1 with no changes
Windows Store apps are compatibleModern apps written for Windows 8 will work on Windows 8.1
Internet Explorer 11 compatibility is excellentCompatibility modes to support behaviors back to IE 7

User State Migration Tool 6.3Adds support for Windows 8.1, Office 2013Removes support for capturing from Windows XP and Windows Vista
Deployment Image Servicing and ManagementExport compressed recovery image (/Export-Image)Cleanup base components when superseded (/StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase)
What’s new in the ADK?
Demo:Refresh using MDT 2013

Unified Extensible Firmware InterfaceImproves start-up performance and pre-boot securityRequires changes to the deployment process, needs Windows 8 logo-certified hardware with UEFI 2.3.1 for full benefitsUEFI does not support x86 Oses on x64 computers
TabletsNew deployment challenges due to device characteristics (e.g. no wired networking, no keyboard, no mouse)InstantGo (connected standby) is a key feature, but requires careful attention to drivers used
Windows To GoGreat solution for many scenarios, enabling existing computers to run Windows 8.1 from a USB keyImproved in Windows 8.1 in regards to the Windows Store
Key changes carried forward from Windows 8
App deployment
Windows Store apps
Install via an “Enterprise App Store” using:• System Center 2012 Configuration
Manager SP1 and above• Windows Intune
Provision using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit or DISM• Include in sysprepped image• Customize Start screen layout
ProvisioningInstallation
Register the application for the userAlways per-userDoes not require administrator rightsSide load or from the Windows Store
Register application on the computerInstall automatically for each userSide load onlyRequires administrator rights
Enterprise side loading requirements• Windows 8 Enterprise, domain joined or with a separate side load product key • Windows 8 Pro or Windows RT, with a separate side load product key
Automatic installationGroup policy can disable auto install, but enabled by defaultUpdates can still install without a Microsoft account
Installation when the Windows Store is disabledGroup policy can disable the Windows Store for the user, but still allow updates to installDisabling the Windows Store for the computer prevents update installation
Works behind proxy serversAddresses common issue in Windows 8
