Going forward a new Hardware Lab Kit (HLK) will be released with each new Windows operating system release.  Once it has been released, you will need to transition over to the latest release within 90-days.  Microsoft will not be releasing QFE’s.  Instead all servicing fixes will occur with the full next release.

The HLK will support testing against the Windows OS that it ships with and the prior two releases. Just to clarify, the Windows Hardware Certification Kit (WHCK) is to be used for testing Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012, and Windows Server 2008 R2.
