The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) is used to develop, test, and deploy Windows Drivers.This topic contains information about earlier versions of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK),Enterprise WDK (EWDK), and additional downloads for support purposes. To develop drivers,use the latest public versions of the Windows Driver Kit (WDK) and tools, available fordownload on Download the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
Windows NT란 처음에 MS-DOS 위에서 돌아가던 Windows 3.1 의 성공으로 Windows 3.1의 GUI 환경을 그대로 가져와 기업과 서버용으로 제작한 커널과 그 커널을 기반으로 만든 운영 체제의 일종이다. 이 때 작성된 커널은 MS-DOS를 기반으로 잡는 종전의 Windows 보다 뛰어난. Windows NT 6.x is a family of Microsoft Windows NT, starting with Vista and ending with 8.1. So far, Windows Vista is the only OS to have support dropped completely. Microsoft Windows NT is an operating system. The first published version was Windows NT 3.1, in 1993. It had a similar interface to Windows 3.1, with advanced networking capabilities and hardware support. In August 1996 Microsoft released Windows NT 4.0 with an interface similar to Windows 95. Download the accurate version's ISO file.) Connect a 4GB USB flash drive to your PC. In Rufus, click the option 'Create a Bootable USB Drive.'. Now, select 'Browse' to open Windows 8 Pro ISO and click 'Next.'. Now, click the option 'Start' and 'Windows 8 Pro ISO.'. Rufus will convert the ISO image into an executable file.
To use these earlier versions, you must first install the version ofVisual Studio that is appropriate for your targeted platform.
Install a previous WDK version
Runtime requirements
You can run the Windows 10 WDK versions (including the WDK for Windows Server 2022) on Windows 7 and later, to develop drivers for the following operating systems:
Client OS | Server OS |
---|---|
Windows 10 | Windows Server 2022, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2016 |
Windows 8.1 | Windows Server 2012 R2 |
Windows 8 | Windows Server 2012 |
Windows 7 | Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 |
Step 1: Install Visual Studio
The WDK requires Visual Studio. For more information about system requirements for Visual Studio, see Visual Studio 2019 System Requirements.
The following table indicates which Visual Studio version is required for the different releases of the WDK.
Targeted versions of Windows | Edition(s) of Visual Studio |
---|---|
Windows Server 2022 Windows 10, Version 2004 Windows 10, version 1903 | Visual Studio Community 2019 Visual Studio Professional 2019 Visual Studio Enterprise 2019 |
Windows 10, version 1809 Windows 10, version 1803 Windows 10, version 1709 | Visual Studio Community 2017 Visual Studio Professional 2017 Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 |
Windows 10, version 1703 Windows 10, version 1607 | Visual Studio Express 2015 for Desktop Visual Studio Community 2015 Visual Studio Professional 2015 Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 |
Windows 8.1 Update Windows 8.1 | Visual Studio 2013 |
Windows 8 | Visual Studio Professional 2012 Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 |
Configure Visual Studio for Windows 10, versions 1709, 1803, 1809, 1903, 2004, and Windows Server 2022
When you install Visual Studio, select the Desktop development withC++ workload. The Windows 10 Software Development Kit (SDK) isautomatically included and is displayed in the right-hand Summarypane.
To develop drivers for ARM/ARM64, choose Individual components andunder Compilers, build tools, and runtimes select Visual C++compilers and libraries for ARM/ARM64.
Install the Windows SDK to target Windows 10, versions 1607 and 1703
If your development targets systems that run Windows 10, version 1607 or Windows 10, version 1703, you should install Visual Studio 2015, and then also download and install the version of the Windows SDK for the targeted version of Windows 10, as identified in the following table.
Targeted versions of Windows | Version of Windows SDK |
---|---|
Windows 10, version 1703 | Windows SDK for Windows 10.0.15063.468 |
Windows 10, version 1607 | Windows SDK for Windows 10.0.14393.795 |
Windows 8.1 | Windows SDK for Windows 8.1 |
Windows 8 | Windows SDK for Windows 8 |
The Windows SDK was not included in Visual Studio 2015, so you must install the SDK separately. Later versions of Visual Studio include the Windows SDK.
Step 2: Install the WDK
The WDK is integrated with Visual Studio and Debugging Tools for Windows(WinDbg). This integrated environment gives you the tools you need todevelop, build, package, deploy, test, and debug drivers.
Note
Starting with Windows 10, version 1709, installing the WDKwill by default install the WDK extensions for Visual Studio. Theseextensions are required for integration of the WDK with Visual Studio.

Note
Please review Hardware development kits for Windows 10, Version 2004 (10.1094.1), which addresses a bug with ExAllocatePoolZero.
Important
If you have installed the WDK for Windows 10, version 1703 on a system that had the WDK for Windows 10, version 1607 installed, some files from the earlier version of the WDK might have been removed. To restore these files:
- On the Start menu, enter Apps & features in the search box, and select Apps & features from the results.
- Find Windows Driver Kit - Windows 10.0.15063.0 in the list of Apps & Features, and then select the program.
- Select Modify, select Repair, and then follow the directions on the screen.
- The files will be restored.
Download previous versions of the EWDK
The Enterprise WDK (EWDK) is a standalone, self-contained, command-line environment forbuilding drivers and basic Win32 test applications. It includes theVisual Studio Build Tools, the SDK, and the WDK. This environmentdoesn't include all the features available in Visual Studio, such asthe integrated development environment (IDE).
Using the EWDK requires .NET Framework 4.6.1. For more information about which systems run this version of the framework, see .NET Framework system requirements. For links to download the .NET Framework, see Install the .NET Framework for developers.
For more information about the EWDK, seeUsing the Enterprise WDK.

Note
Starting in Windows 10 version 1709, the EWDK is ISO-based. To get started, download and mount the ISO, and then run LaunchBuildEnv.
Optional: Install updated test certificates for HAL extensions
To work with HAL Extensions, prepare your development system, running Windows 10, version 1709 or a later version of Windows 10. Also install the WDK or the EWDK, and then install the updated version of the Windows OEM HAL Extension Test Cert 2017 (TEST ONLY), available for download as a ZIP file: HAL_Extension_Test_Cert_2017.zip.
For more information about using this updated certificate, see Update for 'Windows OEM HAL Extension Test Cert 2017 (TEST ONLY)' test certificate on Windows Support.
Optional: Install WinDbg Preview
WinDbg Preview is a new version of WinDbg with more modern visuals, faster windows, a full-fledged scripting experience, built with the extensible debugger data model front and center. WinDbg Preview supports debugging every version of Windows 10.

Standalone tools for debugging Windows XP and Windows Vista
If you're debugging Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, orWindows Server 2008 (or using one of these operating systems to runDebugging Tools for Windows), you need to use the Windows 7 release ofthe debugging tools. It's included in the SDK for Windows 7 and .NETFramework 4.0.
Important
Newer versions of the Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable can causeissues when you install the SDK for Windows 7.
