If you plan to use USMT for a Windows 8.1 deployment, you should be aware of one significant change. Earlier versions of USMT supported migrations with Windows 8 as the target and Windows XP or later running on the source computer.

USMT version 6.3, included in the Windows ADK and required for Windows 8.1 migrations, supports only Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 as both target and host operating systems. Windows XP and Windows Vista are not supported. Microsoft recommends using USMT version 5 as a workaround to capture the user state from Windows XP and Vista; that state can then be restored to Windows 8.1 using USMT 6.3.

Following are Windows 8.1 upgrade options using MDT 2013 with or without ConfigMgr 2012 R2:-

Windows 8.1 Upgrade Options using MDT 2013 with or without ConfigMgr 2012 R2
1. Lite Touch Installation (LTI)
2. User-Driven Installation (UDI)
3. Zero Touch Installation (ZTI)
