Understanding Windows RT Windows 8 is the first Windows client operating system that supports the ARM processor architecture that is commonly found in mobile devices such as tablets and phones. Windows RT is designed specifically to run apps built on the Metro platform, and it is available only as a preinstalled operating system on tablets and similar devices with ARM processors. ARM provides a lightweight form factor with excellent battery life, specifically for mobile devices. Windows RT is preloaded with touch-optimized versions of Microsoft Office applications, and is limited to running apps built using the Metro style UI.

Note: Further detail on Windows RT is outside of the scope of this course. It is mentioned here for reference only. Unless otherwise noted, all references to Windows 8 in this course are for the x86 and x64 editions.

Limitations of the 64-Bit Versions The 64-bit editions of Windows 8 do not support the 16-bit Windows on Windows (WOW) environment. If your organization requires earlier versions of 16-bit applications, they will not run natively in Windows 8. One solution is to run the application within a virtual environment by using Client Hyper-V.

IBITED1-10 Installing and Deploying Windows 8

Applications that attempt to perform tasks for which the current user does not have the necessary permissions may fail. How the failure manifests itself is dependent upon how the application was written.

Control panel applications that perform administrative tasks and make global changes may not function properly and may fail.

Dynamic link library (DLL) applications that run using RunDLL32.exe may not function properly if they perform global operations.

Standard user applications writing to global locations will be redirected to per-user locations through virtualization.

Windows Resource Protection Windows Resource Protection (WRP) protects Windows resources, such as files, folders, and registries, in a read-only state. This affects specific files, folders, and registry keys only. WRP restricts updates to protected resources to the operating system trusted installers, such as Windows Servicing. This enables better protection for the components and applications that ship with the operating system from the impact of other applications and administrators. However, WRP may result in the following compatibility issues:

Application installers that attempt to replace, modify, or delete operating system files and/or registry keys that WRP protects may fail, with an error message indicating that the resource cannot be updated. This is because access to these resources is denied.

Applications that attempt to write new registry keys or values to protected registry keys may fail with an error message that indicates that the change failed because access was denied.

Applications that attempt to write to protected resources may fail if they rely on registry keys or values.

64-Bit Architecture Windows 8 fully supports the 64-bit architecture. The 64-bit version of Windows 8 can run all 32-bit applications with the help of the WOW64 emulator. Considerations for the 64-Bit Windows 8 include:

Applications or components that use 16-bit executables, 16-bit installers, or 32-bit kernel drivers will either fail to start or will function improperly on a 64-bit edition of Windows 8.

Installation of 32-bit kernel drivers will fail on the 64-bit system. If an installer manually adds a driver by editing the registry, the system will not load this driver, and this can cause a system failure.

Installation of 64-bit unsigned drivers will fail on the 64-bit system. If an installer manually adds a driver by editing the registry, the system will not load the driver during load time if it is not signed.

Windows Filtering Platform Windows Filtering Platform (WFP) is an application program interface (API) that enables developers to create code that interacts with the filtering that occurs at several layers in the networking stack and throughout the operating system. If you are using a previous version of this API in your environment, you may experience failures when running security-class applications, such as network scanning, antivirus programs, or firewall applications.

Operating System Version Changes The operating system version number changes with each operating system release. For Windows 7, the internal version number is 6.1, whereas for Windows 8, the internal version number is 6.2. The GetVersion function returns this value when it is queried by an application. This change affects any application or application installer that specifically checks for the operating system version, and might prevent the installation from occurring or the application from running.

There are two migration scenarios: side-by-side, and wipe and load. In side-by-side migration, the source computer and the destination computer are two different computers. In wipe and load migration, the target computer and the source computer are the same. To perform wipe-and-load migration, you perform a clean installation of Windows 8 on a computer that already has an operating system, by running the Windows 8 installation program, and then selecting Custom (advanced).

Automated installation. You perform an automated installation when you use one of the above methods of installation in combination with an automation tool, to make the installation more seamless, or to remove repetitive tasks from the installation process.

Automated installations can take many forms, including pushing precreated images to computers, using an enterprise-level tool such as the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), Windows Deployment Services (WDS) and the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit, or even by creating an answer file manually to provide information directly to the installation process.

If your computer already has an operating system, you also can start the computer with the old operating system, and then run the Windows 8 installation from the product DVD on that operating system.
