2. What’s New – ARM64 Support in all Kits
ADK
Windows Assessment Console Provides assessment and performance analysis on ARM systems
Contains ARM WinPE for deployment and imaging services
HLK
Supports driver testing on ARM64
WDK
Supports building ARM64 driver

3. New for the Windows Driver Kit (WDK)
Fully support Visual Studio 2017 (VS2017)
VS2017 update 4 (ETA early October 2017) includes ARM64 compiler
Continues backing creation and support of Windows Universal Drivers (DCHU Drivers)

4. Universal Windows Drivers
The WDK will automatically build Universal Drivers when the target platform is set to “Universal.”
This follows DCHU enablement
This is taken care of in the build process, so if the driver builds clean it is a universal driver.
Universal headers and library's are automatically pulled in.
Tests the “D” component, which is a check for universal INF’s by running Infverify /u.
Tests the “U” component, which is a check for the Universal DDI’s by running APIValidator

5. Enterprise WDK (EWDK)
Free .ISO file, which contains all the headers, libs and VS2017 tools for a self-contained command-line build environment.
Unlike VS2017 and the WDK, no installation required. Download the ISO, mount it, and run the batch file.
Can be xcopied, run from a file share, etc.
All command line, easily automatable. No IDE, so use any code editor desired.
Uses MSBuild for building.
Search for “Enterprise WDK” on MSDN.
