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).

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:

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.

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.

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:

1. On the Start menu, enter Apps & features in the search box, and select Apps & features from the results.
2. Find Windows Driver Kit - Windows 10.0.15063.0 in the list of Apps & Features, and then select the program.
3. Select Modify, select Repair, and then follow the directions on the screen.
4. 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.

For download links and more information about WinDbg Preview, see Download WinDbg Preview.

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.

Get the standalone debugging tools for Windows XP by first downloadingthe Windows 7 SDK:Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4.

To install the Debugging Tools for Windows as a standalone component,start the SDK installer, and in the installation wizard, selectDebugging Tools for Windows, and clear all other components.

14. “exit”
15. Type “bootsect /nt60 X:” here.
16. Now give the last command to copy the ISO file “xcopy G:*.* X: /E /F /H.” The term “XCOPY” shows a copy of the ISO file.
