Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (Windows ADK)

Yes. Yes. I know.

It has actually been out for quite a while now.

(I’m specifically referring to the release version for Windows 8 & 8.1.

For some reason this small bundle of ADK links got lost in the pile I’d planned to post here as a reference.

But then I just found it so here they are.
