Microsoft seems to be keener than ever to tackle the enterprise market, so the company has recently released a new Assessment and Deployment Kit for Windows 8.1.

The new tools are supposed to help system administrators easily deploy the upcoming platform, thus providing them with quick access to plenty of improvements specifically aimed at enterprises.

According to TechTarget, ADK 8.1 comes with Windows Preinstallation Environment 5.0, User State Migration Tool 6.3, Windows System Image Manager, Deployment Image Servicing and Management, Application Compatibility Toolkit, Volume Activation Management Tool, Windows Performance Toolkit and Windows Assessment Toolkit.
