8.1Pro and asus T100

[SunP]

Got the t100 32gb but need to upgrade to 8.1Pro to connect to domain at work. Planning to get Pro pack. Does anyone know if this works on asus t100? Will (in theory) have to repeat this on 10 of these asus total, so I figured better consult some people who know.

I haven't done it, but several users have upgraded to 32-bit pro with no issues (that I have heard anyway).

Yep, there's has been at least one T100 owner that reported doing just that. I seem to recall they just went to the My Computer page and selected to upgrade windows and followed the prompts and had no reported problems.
I'm not sure what your work environment use will be for the ten T100s you bought but IMHO I think I'd have spent the extra $50 per device to get the 64G model. You may find that 32G is not enough unless your running everything off the cloud.

I am a Network Administrator at a school and just this past week we bought 25 of the T100 64Gb and upgraded them all to Pro without issue from a USB stick.


anyone got a way to image these thing on a large scale lol

ProPack works, like everyone said.

RingKing98, you might check out Ghost Suite from Symantec. it supports system imaging from cd, usb, network, anything you can think of.

Ghost suite works pretty well. I can double check what we use at work (not Ghost Suite) since we are looking at imaging roughly 60,000 machines.

Tools like Ghost work great but double check that it works with 32bit UEFI?

multiple machine imaging:
wds over pxe (windows deployment services)

[ringking98]

these machines dont have a Network jack so how could they PXE? ghost image over USB?

a clean install with an official windows 8.1 pro iso takes 3gb less hd space than factory install of win 8.1 oem (even with office removed)
