Top Three Reasons to Retire Windows XP and move to a Modern OS today!1

• Proven customer benefits in mobility, productivity, security, manageability

• Up to 70% of Businesss* have plans to deploy within 12mo or already deployed Windows 7

Windows 7

Windows 8

“Windows 7 has gotten positive reviews, and many Gartner clients are now in the midst of their production deployments.” - Gartner

• “No-compromise” Tablet for Business Users & New Windows Business apps

• New Possibilities in Mobile Productivity with WTG

• Enhanced End-to-End Security • Management and Virtualization

Advancements

Get Value today. Get Modern. Eliminate Risks ofWindows XP End of Support

Risks• Lack of support from ISVs and OEMs for the

new applications and PC hardware• Security and compliance issues running

unsupported software• Need to purchase expensive custom support• Office 2013 does not work with Windows XP

Organizations that continue to retain a Windows XP environment not only are leaving themselves exposed to security risks and support challenges but also are wasting budget dollars that would be better used in modernizing their IT investments.” - IDC Whitepaper (May 2012)

2 Deployment is easier than you think

Leverage Available Resources• Deployment tools, guidance and best

practices on Springboard /TechNet• Windows 8 Evaluation edition• Accelerate programs - – Jumpstart

PoCs & Pilots and other deployment resources

Take advantage of high compatibility between Windows 7 & Windows 8 • Windows 7 apps run on Windows 8• Windows 7 devices perform with

Windows 8 faster than with Windows 7

• Windows 8 works well with customers’ existing Windows 7 infrastructure

Something to consider

Page 33: Migrating  from Windows XP  to  Windows 7 or 8 / 8.1

What’s changed in the deployment process?If you are using our deployment productsThe same deployment process is used for Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8Incremental enhancements for new capabilities in Windows 8 and the latest versions of the deployment toolsYou already know how to deploy Windows 8!

If you are using other deployment productsMake sure they have added support for Windows 8 and the latest toolsCheck if they are using the latest technologies:File-based images enable new scenariosHardlinks enable speedy migrationsUEFI adds speed and securityDeploy without decrypting

Page 34: Migrating  from Windows XP  to  Windows 7 or 8 / 8.1

Significant changes• New model for building

and deploying applications

• Business can “side load” line-of-business applications

• Completely new scenario

• Uses USB 3.0 devices with a “portable” Windows 8 Business installation

• New provisioning process

• Replacement for legacy PC BIOS

• Faster startup and resume• More secure using Secure

Windows Store apps

Install via an “Business App Store” using:• System Center 2012 Configuration

Manager SP1• Windows Intune

Provision using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit 2012 or DISM• Include in sysprepped image• Customize Start screen layout

ProvisioningInstallationRegister the application for the userAlways per-userDoes not require administrator rightsSide load or from the Windows Store

Register application on the computerInstall automatically for each userSide load onlyRequires administrator rights

Business side loading requirements• Windows 8 Business, domain joined or with a separate side load product key • Windows 8 Pro or Windows RT, with a separate side load product key

Fast and secure booting with UEFI

Page 37: Migrating  from Windows XP  to  Windows 7 or 8 / 8.1

UEFI: Faster and more capableFasterRemoves limitations from 16-bit legacy BIOSHardware POST must complete quickly• Two seconds for SSD, four seconds for spinning

disksBoot and resume I/O performance improved

More capableLarger boot disks, using new GPT disk layout instead of MBRUnlimited number of partitionsSupports both x86 and x64 (with UEFI 2.3.1), but not both on the same hardware

Page 38: Migrating  from Windows XP  to  Windows 7 or 8 / 8.1

UEFI: More secureSecure BootLayer of security on top of UEFIUEFI verifies all files used as part of the boot processSupported by all Windows 8 Hardware Certified systemsCan be manually turned off• Enables OSes that do not support it

Measured Boot• Performs an additional checksum

of boot components

Detects and deters malware before the OS starts
