The first step is to install a reference image of Wind(version ) on either a physical or virtual machine. For more information about Current Branch, see Windows 10 release information. When you create an image to base the VDI deployment, be sure to use the Current Branch. These instructions and recommended settings are relevant to Wind(version ).Īny settings not specifically mentioned in this topic can be left at their default values (or set per your requirements and policies) without appreciable impact on VDI functionality. Some recommendations might disable functionality that you would prefer to use, so you should consider the cost versus the benefit of adjusting any particular setting in your scenario. This topic is not a blueprint, but rather a guide or starting point. In the VDI environment, many background services and tasks are disabled from the beginning. Microsoft Desktop Virtualization automatically detects device configurations and network conditions to get users up and running sooner by enabling the instant setup of corporate applications and desktops, and it equips IT to provide access to legacy applications during migration to Windows 10.Īlthough the Windows 10 operating system is very well tuned out of the box, there are opportunities for you to refine it further specifically for the corporate Microsoft Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environment.
