OS & Device Options
Device Target
Typical Concerns
 Typical concerns include determining the size of the image (thick vs. thin), the disk usage
profile, the amount of idle CPU load, and memory requirements. There is also an interest
in increasing performance.
Purpose
 Determine the target device where the Windows 8 image will be deployed
Importance
 Gain the ability to take advantage of image optimization, streaming capabilities, smaller
resource footprints, rapid image testing & reuse, and ease of provisioning options.
Overview

6
OS & Device Options
Operating System
Windows 8 “N”
 The Windows 8 "N" version is an edition which does not include a bundled copy of
Windows Media Player.
Windows 8
 Unlike Windows 7 and Windows Vista, there are no Starter, Ultimate, Home Premium, or
Home Basic editions.
Windows 8 Pro
 Windows 8 Pro is targeted towards enthusiasts and business users which includes all the
features. Additional features include operating as a Remote Desktop server, the ability to
participate in a Windows Server domain, Encrypting File System, Hyper-V, and Virtual
Hard Disk Booting, Group Policy as well as BitLocker and BitLocker To Go.
Overview
Windows 8 Enterprise
 Windows 8 Enterprise provides all the features in Windows 8 Pro (except the Windows
Media Center add-on), with additional features to assist with IT organizations.

7
OS & Device Options
32-bit vs. 64-Bit Operating System Architecture
Overview
Typical Concerns
 Hardware purchased within the past 2 to 3 years is likely be compatible with Windows 8 64-bit. Use
the Microsoft Assessment and Planning (MAP) toolkit to validate
 Most hardware manufacturers produce both 32 and 64-bit versions of device drivers
 Special attention should be directed to printer drivers and support for 64-bit operating systems
 Memory configurations greater than 4Gb are only addressable when a 64-bit operating system is
used
 “Windows on Windows” technology in 64-bit Windows 8 provides support for 32-bit applications
Purpose
 This option identifies the architecture of Windows 8 to be used in the creation of your image
Importance
 Choosing one architecture will likely reduce the amount of testing required to prepare applications for
a Windows 8 deployment
 16-bit applications are not compatible with a 64-bit version of Windows 8

8
OS & Device Options
Hardware Model List
Overview
Typical Concerns
 Additional drivers may be added to the deployment point once the WIM is received from the factory
 Determine the maintenance cycle to be used to update manufacturer driver packages
Purpose
 Determine which selection of drivers to include in the deployment point, as well as specific mass-
storage or network drivers to include in Windows PE
Importance
 Selecting the right set of drivers will help in determining the correct machine make/model list that will
be supported by the factory built image.

OS & Device Options
Hardware Model List
Determine the hardware model
Patching Overview
Recommendation:
If there is a defined list of machine models that require support, expressly identify those.
Alternatives Benefits Disadvantages
Shared Driver Library
(Select Make/Model)
 Includes drivers for only those machine
make/model that you specify.
 Will not support hardware beyond
those specified
Additional Model List  Allows you to identify additional machine
make/models for those not listed by the factory.
 Will not be feature/function tested to
confirm correct installation
Include Generic Drivers  Includes drivers for many popular machine
models.
 May not include drivers for some
models required.
 May cause conflict b/w machine
models from the same vendor,
thereby requiring additional testing to
validate

10
OS & Device Options
Service Configuration
Overview
Typical configuration changes to consider for Virtual client targets
• Unused services to disable
 Configuration changes to increase performance
 Graphical modifications
 Consider reducing the frequency regularly scheduled activities/events (i.e.
Hardware/software inventory)
