Lets get started Planning Customizing reference images for different audiences. Instead of having one device design that tries to fit everyone, Windows image management tools help you tailor device designs to meet the specific needs of various customers. To get started, we recommend choosing a hardware design that targets a specific audience, market, or price point. Build base images for this design and test it. Next, modify the base images to create designs for for different audiences, include branding, logos, languages, and apps. Device types. Consider creating separate designs for different device types, such as low cost or performance laptops, or low cost or performance desktops. Each of these styles has different sets of critical differentiators, such as battery life or graphics performance. Although Windows includes base drivers for many common devices, some hardware requires specialized device drivers that must be installed and occasionally updated. Many drivers are designed to be installed offline without booting the Windows image. Use Windows Assessment tools to make sure that the apps and hardware that youre installing can perform well in a variety of circumstances. OA 3. 0. This document is intended for OEMs deploying systems with OEM Activation 3. OA 3. 0 enabled. For OEMs deploying systems without OEM activation, pay attention to the samples marked as non OA. Architecture. If you plan to build devices with both 6. Youll also need different versions of drivers, packages, and updates. Retail customers and business customers. If youre building designs for both retail and business customers, you can start with a single base edition such as Windows 1. Home or Windows 1. Pro, and then later upgrade it to a higher edition such as Windows 1. Enterprise, as needed. Once youve built a higher edition, however, you cant downgrade it to the lower edition. For more info, see Windows Upgrade Paths. If youre building devices to sell to retail customers, youll need to meet a set of minimum requirements. For info, see the Licensing and Policy guidance on the Device Partner Center. If youre building devices for businesses, youll have fewer restrictions. IT professionals can customize their devices in all sorts of ways. However, you should consider the implications of IT policies, as well as customer needs such as migrating data, activating security tools, and managing volume license agreements and product keys. Regions. Consider creating different base images for different regions. The resource files for Windows and other apps like Microsoft Office can be large some resources like localized handwriting and speech recognition resources are several hundred megabytes. To save drive space, weve split up the language packs. This can help you preload more languages for your customers or save space on your image. For example, to target a large region, you may preload the basic language components such as text and user interface files for many areas within the region, but only include the handwriting recognition for devices with pens, or only include voice and speech tools for Cortana on devices with integrated microphones. Users can download these components later as needed. Sample plan. This lab uses the following three sample hardware configurations. Hardware Configuration 1. B2. Form factor. Small tablet. Notebook.
