3 Understanding the Windows 8.1 Boot Environment Lesson 2: Installing Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 3

4 Windows 8.1 Boot Environment Windows 8.1 eliminates DOS from the installation process and provides a new boot environment John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 4

5 Introducing Windows Preinstallation Environment (PE) Windows PE 5.0: o Is a striped-down operating system o Is based on the Windows 8.1 kernel o Enables system administrators to boot a computer with no operating system installed and initiate the operating system setup process 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 5

6 Windows PE Advantages of Windows PE compared to MS-DOS: o Native 32-bit or 64-bit support o Native 32-bit or 64-bit driver support o Internal networking support o Internal NTFS support o Scripting language support o Flexible boot options 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 6

7 What s New in Windows PE Anyone can obtain latest versions of Windows PE (3.0, 4.0, and 5.0) Available for free in a standalone version as part of the Windows 8.1 Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 7

8 Windows 8.1 ADK The Windows 8.1 ADK includes the following components: Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) Deployment Tools User State Migration Tool (USMT) Volume Activation Management Tool (VAMT) Windows Assessment Toolkit Windows Assessment Services Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 8

9 Understanding Windows PE Limitations Windows PE was never intended to function as a full-time operating system Experienced rapid deployment and execution Limitations include: o Does not support the entire collection of Win32 APIs o Automatically stops and reboots the computer after 72 hours of continuous operation o Drive letter assignments you create in a Windows PE session are not persistent between sessions o You must use 32-bit version of Windows PE to install 32- bit version of Windows 8.1; 64-bit version of Windows PE to install 64-bit Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 9

10 Understanding Windows PE Limitations o Registry keys are reset to default values each time the operating system restarts o Will not fit on a floppy disk Is possible to create bootable Windows PE CD- ROM, DVD-ROM, and USB flash drive o Does not have file server or Remote Desktop capabilities o Does not support Microsoft.NET Framework or the Common Language Runtime (CLR), Windows on Windows 32 (WOW32), Windows on Windows 64 (WOW64), Virtual DOS Machine (VDM), OS/2, or POSIX subsystems 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 10

11 Using Windows PE Windows PE is useful for scenarios that require a basic operating system with minimal resource usage. Can be used for: o Custom deployments o System troubleshooting o System recovery 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 11

12 Performing a Clean Installation Lesson 2: Installing Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 12

13 Clean Installation A clean installation is the simplest way to deploy Windows 8.1 on a new computer or a computer with a partition that you are willing to reformat (losing all of the data on the partition in the process) John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 13

20 Installing Third-Party Device Drivers The Where do you want to install Windows? page lists the partitions on all of the hard disks that the Setup program can detect with its default drivers. If the hard disk drives in the computer are connected to a third-party controller, rather than the one integrated into the motherboard, the list of partitions might appear empty, and you will have to supply a driver before the Setup program can see the disks. Check the controller manufacturer s website for a driver supporting Windows 8.1. If none is available, use the most recent Windows 8 or Windows 7 driver John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 20

22 Working with Installation Partitions In addition to installing disk drivers, the Where do you want to install Windows? page enables you to create, manage, and delete the partitions on your disks. Clicking the Drive options (advanced) button on the page causes four additional buttons to appear. These buttons have the following functions: o Delete o Extend o Format o New 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 22

24 Installing to a VHD It is possible to install Windows 8.1 on a virtual hard disk (VHD) file stored on any one of the computer s physical disks. When you install Windows 8.1 on a VHD, it becomes an alternative boot device to the standard disk partition installation. This ability makes it possible to maintain any number of independent Windows 8.1 installations on a single computer and boot into any one as needed John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 24

25 Installing Language Support Once you install Windows 8.1 using one particular language, you can add others using the Language control panel applet John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 25

27 Installing Language Support The Language options page 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 27

28 Installing Additional Features Windows 8.1 includes many programs and features that the setup program does not install by default. This prevents the Windows from consuming resources unnecessarily 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 28

30 Upgrading to Windows 8.1 Lesson 2: Installing Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 30

31 Preparing to Upgrade Consider the following before you perform any upgrade to Windows 8.1: Run Upgrade Assistant Check hardware compatibility Search for updated drivers Check application compatibility Check disk space Perform a full backup Purchase Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 31

32 Upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Editions This upgrade is actually more of an update, because it does not completely replace the operating system, as an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 does. In an enterprise environment, this is an upgrade that can easily be performed by the end user, without the need for a service call. Windows 8 and Windows 8 Pro are upgradable through the Windows Store, but Windows 8 Enterprise is not 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 32

33 Upgrading from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Editions Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows RT, and Windows 7 all include a tool called Windows Easy Transfer that enables you to copy the valuable data from a source operating system to a destination operating system. In Windows 8.1, however, Microsoft has taken the first steps towards deprecating the Windows Easy Transfer tool. o The Windows 8.1 version can only transfer files (not settings or profiles), and only from Windows 7, Windows RT, and Windows 8. You can t even transfer data from one Windows 8.1 system to another. There is another tool that can migrate data into Windows 8.1, called the User State Migration Tool (USMT), This is a command line tool designed primarily for use by administrators 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 33

34 Installing Windows to Go Lesson 2: Installing Windows John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 34

35 Windows to Go Windows To Go is a new feature in Windows 8.1 that enables administrators to deploy system images on removable USB drives. When a user plugs a Windows To Go drive into a remote computer, the system loads the complete Windows 8.1 environment from the removable medium, including applications and any other data incorporated into the image file. Once Windows 8.1 is loaded from the Windows To Go drive, the storage subsystem on the host computer is disabled, so that no remnants of the Windows To Go environment are left on that computer John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 35

40 Lesson Summary Windows 8.1 includes a new preinstallation environment called Windows PE. In a clean installation, you boot from the Windows 8 Setup disk and create or select a blank partition where Windows 8 will reside. It is possible to migrate files and settings from an existing Windows installation to a newly installed Windows 8 installation using either Windows Easy Transfer or User State Migration Tool. Windows 8.1 supports in-place upgrades only from Windows 7, Windows 8 or another Windows 8.1 edition John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 40

41 Lesson Summary To perform an in-place upgrade, you must launch the Windows 8.1 Setup program from within Windows 7 or Windows 8. To upgrade from one Windows 8.1 edition to another, you can use the Add features to Windows 8.1 found in the Windows 8.1 Control Panel. Windows To Go is a new feature in Windows 8.1 that enables administrators to deploy system images on removable USB drives John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 41
