New imaging features• Taking over from ImageX, which is depricated
Support for VHD and WIM filesPowerShell cmdlets for some operationsMetro application provisioning and installation
DemoNew Boot Image
Windows 8• Current observations:
• 15 minutes goes to 10 when using new Windows PE• Windows Vista takes over 30 minutes for a clean install (no integration components)
…
Windows 7
• Image size:• 1.97GB image (WIM), 7.87GB
expanded• Installation time (new):
• 15 minutes*• Upgrade time (from Vista):
• 30 minutes
Windows 8
• Image size:• 1.96GB image (WIM), 7.76GB
expanded• Installation time (new):
• 10 minutes• Upgrade time (from Windows 7):
• 20 minutes
Windows 8 FeaturesBitLocker Enhancements
• Pre-provisioning• Encrypt disk before the
operating system is installed
• Initiated from Windows PE 4.0
• Protectors get added once the OS is running
• Encrypt only used space• Automatic network unlock
on trusted wired networks• Standard users can reset
PINs
• Replacement for legacy BIOS• Results in faster boot times• Required for new Windows features• Requires a different disk configuration• Operating system architecture must
match device• Some systems may offer a
