Windows 8• Current observations:

• 15 minutes goes to 10 when using new Windows PE• Windows Vista takes over 30 minutes for a clean install (no integration components)

…

Windows 7

• Image size:• 1.97GB image (WIM), 7.87GB

expanded• Installation time (new):

• 15 minutes*• Upgrade time (from Vista):

• 30 minutes

Windows 8

• Image size:• 1.96GB image (WIM), 7.76GB

expanded• Installation time (new):

• 10 minutes• Upgrade time (from Windows 7):

• 20 minutes

Windows 8 FeaturesBitLocker Enhancements

• Pre-provisioning• Encrypt disk before the

• Initiated from Windows PE 4.0

• Protectors get added once the OS is running

• Encrypt only used space• Automatic network unlock

on trusted wired networks• Standard users can reset
