Understanding Windows RT

Windows 8 is the first Windows client operating system that supports the ARM processor architecture thatis 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.

Applications that attempt to perform tasks for which the current user does not have the necessarypermissions 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 notfunction properly and may fail.

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

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

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 registrykeys 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 withan 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 orvalues.

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 willeither 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 driverby 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 adriver 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 andthroughout 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.

o Perform a clean installationo Reinstall the applicationso Restore the users settings and dataThere 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 loadmigration, 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 abovemethods 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.

2. If your computer does not currently have an operating system, start the computer by using theproduct DVD. 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.

3. Complete the wizard.Running Windows 8 Installation from a Network Share

Instead of a DVD, you can store the Windows 8 installation files in a network share. Generally, the network

source is a shared folder on a file server. Perform the following steps to install Windows 8 from a network

share:

1. If your computer does not currently have an operating system, start the computer by using theWindows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE). You can start Windows PE from bootable media,

such as a DVD or a USB flash drive, or from a network PXE boot, by using WDS. If your computer

already has an operating system, you can start the computer with the old operating system.

2. Connect to the network share that contains the Windows 8 files.3. Run the Windows 8 installation program (setup.exe) from the network share.4. Complete the wizard.Installing Windows 8 by Using an Image

Perform the following steps to install Windows 8 by using an image:

1. Install Windows 8 to a reference computer, and then prepare the reference computer for duplication.2. Create a WIM image of the reference computer by using ImageX.

You can run ImageX from a command prompt or from Windows PE. ImageX captures a volume

image to a WIM file. WIM files are not tied to a particular hardware configuration, and you can

modify them after capture to add new drivers, patches, or applications.

Use one of the following tools to deploy the image:

ImageX WDS MDT

Note: You typically use the deployment tools in the preceding list in enterprise

environments. Discussion of these tools is outside the scope of this course.
