Planning to ImplementWindows 8

Agenda

Implementing Windows 8

• The first step in installing Windows 8 on a computer is to ensure that the hardware and software being run on the computer will be compatible with Windows 8.

• As a part of preparing for the Windows 8 installation process, you need to understand minimum hardware requirements and understand the supported upgrade paths.

Editions

• Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster• RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) (32-bit) or 2 GB (64-bit)• Hard disk space: 16 GB (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)• Graphics card: Microsoft DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM driver• Additional requirements to use certain features:• To use touch, you need a tablet or a monitor that supports multitouch • To access the Windows Store and to download and run apps, you need an active

Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least 1024 x 768• To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least 1366 x 768• Client Hyper-V requires a 64-bit system with second level address translation 2 GB of

RAM (Windows 8 Pro only)• A TV tuner is required to play and record live TV in Windows Media Center (Windows

8 Pro Pack and Windows 8 Media Center Pack only)

Implementing Windows 8

Upgrading

Current OS (Operating System): Retained Features:

Windows XP user accounts and files

Windows Vista windows settings, user accounts, and files

Windows 7 programs, windows settings, user accounts, and files

Windows 8 RP (Release Preview) Nothing is carried over (Files are saved in a folder called Windows.old)

Windows 8 DP (Developers Preview) Nothing is carried over (Files are saved in a folder called Windows.old)

Improved deployment and migration features

Client Hyper-V

Note: This requires the Windows 8 Enterprise or Windows 8 Pro version of the operating system.

• Client Hyper-V® on Windows 8 provides a flexible and high-performing client virtualization environment.

• Users can take advantage of this environment to test applications and IT scenarios in multiple operating system configurations by using a single computer

Client Hyper-V (requirements)

• 64-bit PCs only. Like the Server software on which it is based, Client Hyper-V only runs on 64-bit PCs that are running the 64-bit version of Windows 8 Pro (or Enterprise). • Chipset requirements. Client Hyper-V requires modern Intel and AMD microprocessors that include Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) technologies. Fortunately, this is a feature of all current generation (“Sandy Bridge” on Intel) microprocessors. But it means that your older Core 2 Duo-based PCs may not work.• Memory. Your PC must be configured with at least 4 GB of RAM. (More memory depending on virtualization needs)

Client Hyper-V (installation)

Server Hyper-V (requirements)

Processor : Minimum: 1.4 GHz 64-bit processorRAM: Minimum: 512 MBDisk Space: Minimum: 32 GB

Windows Server 2012 Datacenter – unlimited virtual instances on local hardwareWindows Server 2012 Standard – two virtual instances on local hardwareWindows Server 2012 Essentials – no virtualization supportWindows Server 2012 Foundation – no virtualization support

Server Hyper-V (installation)

Polls

Server 2008 vs. Server 2012Hyper-VPVLANs allow Hyper-V administrators to isolate virtual machines from each other (for example, virtual machines cannot contact other virtual machines over the network), while still maintaining external network connectivity for all virtual machines. DHCP guard • DHCP guard drops server messages from unauthorized virtual machines that are acting as DHCP servers • DHCP server traffic from other virtual switch ports is automatically dropped. Router guard • Router guard drops router advertisement and redirection messages from unauthorized virtual machines that are acting as routers.
