Choosing the right ADK version is critical for MDT stability. While it is generally recommended to match your ADK to the Windows version you are deploying, later versions of the ADK (such as the December 2024 release) are often used to support newer hardware and OS builds.

Installation Walkthrough
Because official Microsoft MDT installers are no longer available on the main Download Center, you may need to rely on existing internal backups or community repositories. The Windows ADK, however, remains available as it supports other tools like Configuration Manager.
Starting with Windows 10 version 1809, the Windows Preinstallation Environment (WinPE) is a separate download that must be installed after the base ADK. 2. Version Compatibility Matrix
You can still download the Windows ADK directly from Microsoft.
