Microsoft Windows SDK
版本

MSDN技术资源库的在线版网站包含Windows SDK的在线版本。
Microsoft SDK for Windows 3.0是最后一个收费版本的Windows SDK。之后的Windows SDK电子版均为免费，但是购买CD、DVD等基于物理介质的版本时仍需运费和处理费用。
单独发布的电子版Windows SDK可以在微软下载中心免费下载，有在线安装和本地安装两种版本。在安装Visual Studio时也可以选择同时安装电子版Windows SDK。Visual Studio的速成版本包含一个精简版本的离线版Windows SDK。
对于非PC版本的Windows，微软也发布对应版本的SDK，例如Windows Mobile SDK和Tablet PC SDK。
2003年2月的Platform SDK是第一个支持64位开发的Platform SDK。Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1则是第一个支持AMD64的Platform SDK。
Microsoft Windows SDK for Windows 7 and .NET Framework 4 (ver7.1)在安装前应该卸载版本大于10.0.30319的VC++ x86/x64 runtime/redistributable。否则在Microsoft Windows SDK安装过程中将会报错。
