Windows ADK at a glance
The Windows ADK bundles the tools administrators use to prepare, customize and validate Windows images for large-scale deployment. These include components for image servicing, system preparation, user state migration and volume activation; the Windows Preinstallation Environment is provided as a separate add-on.
New ADK editions are released in step with the corresponding Windows versions and carry version numbers derived from the build number. Between major editions Microsoft occasionally ships updated packages. So that client and server images build cleanly, the installed ADK version should match the target Windows version.
Before switching, check whether the ADK version supports the target platform and the management solution in use; the matching Windows PE add-on must be installed separately. Older installations should be removed before upgrading, and customized boot images should be regenerated after the update.
