Scenario: Traditional DeploymentAn arsenal of tools
ADK for Windows 8.1Windows PE 5.0
Minor changesAutomatic scratch space adjustment when not explicitly set (512MB for >=1GB RAM, 32MB otherwise)Support for up to 4TB of RAM with x64 (still 64GB for x86)Profiling support removed

A new way to deploy Windows 8.1Requires Windows 8.1 Update, Windows PE 5.1, new DISMIntended for UEFI systems with small SSD/eMMC hard drives (16GB, 32GB)Bare metal only (no conversion process)See http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/springboard/archive/2014/04/10/what-is-windows-image-boot-wimboot.aspx for more information
Leverages image (WIM) files to save spaceOperating system files stay in a compressed WIM on a separate images partitionDecompressed on the fly as neededMain C: volume contains pointer files to the “real” files in the read-only WIM
What is WIMBoot?

What about Windows XP to Windows 8.1?Challenges
USMT 6.3 can’t capture state from Windows XPADK 8.1 version of BOOTSECT.EXE does not run on Windows 8.1
WorkaroundsUse USMT 5.0 to capture from Windows XP and USMT 6.3 to restore to Windows 8.1Use older BOOTSECT.EXE from the ADK for Windows 8
Processes are documented:
The ConfigMgr process is described at http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2013/09/12/how-to-migrate-user-data-from-win-xp-to-win-8-1-with-system-center-2012-r2-configmgr.aspx

Just like any other updateApprove in WSUS or Windows Intune, deploy via ConfigMgr or other patch management toolInject offline or install online using DISM
A new baselineContains all updates released for Windows 8.1 through April 2014 (supersedes all)Subsequent security updates will be dependent on Windows 8.1 Update (in May for consumers, in August for enterprises) New ISOs provided on the Volume License Service Center for convenience
