Seven, Drive

with Win8.1 (8 or 7) x64 drivers, nothing special, most of which can be used on the server. If the server does not recognize the individual hardware, try to back up this hardware driver in Win8.1 (8 or 7) x64 with the driver backup and restore software, and then restore it in the server.

Viii. Themes

Copy the Theme1.theme, theme2.theme in the Windows\resources\themes directory of Windows 8.1, and place it in the same location in Server2012. Copy the theme1, theme2 two folders under the Windows 8.1 windows\web\wallpaper directory and place them in the same location in Server2012. As for the WIN8.1 default desktop, yellow, unsightly, not ported.

If you added the Windows Server Backup feature earlier. To make a system image backup (usually a backup C drive), enable Server Manager, top right menu bar, tools, select Windows Server Backup, make a one-time backup, other options, customize, add items, tick C drive.

of course, if you're used to backing up with Ghost, Windows Server backup doesn't need to be added.

10. Security software

Server system does not come with a kill soft, if you like Microsoft security software, you can use System Center Endpoint Protection (or later version), to this download:http://pan.baidu.com/share/home?uk=137877234, Windows related----Microsoft antivirus software------scep_4.4.207.zip. Non-Microsoft security software also has a lot to support the server system, not recommended here.

Finally, whether it is Win8.1 with the up or the server with the up, after the system, must first hit the recent time to push the update patch, so that the system is easy to use Shunliu, or still feel that even if added up still a bit awkward.

Do not know there is no leakage, not timed to add.
