Install ADK for Windows 10 Deployment

In this post I will walk you through installing the Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK) for Windows 10.  If you are upgrading you system to Windows 10 by using SCCM you need the ADK for Windows 10 if you want to deploy the latest features.

First thing you need to do is uninstall any old version of ADK installed on your SCCM server.  I have ADK for Windows 8.1 installed.  I will uninstall this and reboot my server.

Click here to download ADK for Windows 10 version 1511.

Important - their is an know issue with the PXE boot images in the ADK for Windows 10, version 1511. Click here to see the Microsoft Blog post about it.

Once you have the ADK for Windows 10 downloaded you can start the installation.  You will see the screen below asking what location you would like the installation file to be install on.  I selected the default and click the "Next" button.

 

Next screen is the "Windows Kits Privacy" screen. I selected "No" and hit the "Next" button

I clicked "Accept" on the License Agreement screen.

On the "Select the feature you want to install" screen. All you need to select is "Deployment Tools",  "Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE)", and "User State Migration Tool (USMT)" then hit the "Install" button.

The installation is started.

Install is completed.  Please reboot your server now before doing anything else.
