Below are based on my Project

We determined that in order to meet the two main goals of this project, several items must first be in place

Before creating or deploying a task sequence.

1. Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 media

We use the steps described at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh397283.aspx to import the Windows 8.1 Enterprise x64 operating system to Configuration Manager

All common line-of-business applications prepared in Configuration Manager as applications for unattended deployment our team have prepared applications and package/programs for unattended installation via the operating system task sequence, as referenced at http://technet.microsoft.com/enus/library/gg682125.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg699369.aspx
