Using VMware Horizon Client for Windows Store
This guide, Using VMware Horizon Client for Windows Store, provides information about installing and using
VMware Horizon™ Client software on a Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, or Windows 8.1 Pro device to
connect to a remote desktop in the data center.
The information in this document includes system requirements and instructions for installing and using
Horizon Client for Windows Store.
This information is intended for administrators who must set up a View deployment that includes Windows
RT 8.1 client devices. The information is written for experienced system administrators who are familiar
with virtual machine technology and datacenter operations.
Setup and Installation
Setting up a View deployment for Windows Store clients involves using certain View Connection Server
configuration settings, meeting the system requirements for View servers and Windows 8.1 device clients,
and installing the VMware Horizon Client app.
System Requirements
You can install Horizon Client on many Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows 8.1 Pro devices.
The device on which you install Horizon Client, and the peripherals it uses, must meet certain system
requirements.
Operating systems
Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, or Windows 8.1 Pro
IMPORTANT Although you can install Horizon Client for Windows Store on
devices with Windows 8.1 and Windows 8.1 Pro operating systems, VMware
recommends that you install Horizon Client for Windows (rather than
Windows Store) on these devices. Horizon Client for Windows is also touch-
enabled and offers additional features such as USB redirection and smart
card redirection. Horizon Client for Windows Store is recommended for
Windows RT 8.1 devices.
