Iso file : "ISO File" is a file that contains the complete image of a disc. wim file (Windows Image File) is a compressed file which contains a set of many files and associated file system metadata and is included in any Windows installation Media under the "sources" folder WIM files are used to manage files s uch as drivers, updates, and components without booting the operating system image. It allows a single disk image to be deployed to multiple computer platforms. Wim files: A WIM file is saved in a file-based imaging format that was introduced with Windows Vista. That will take "forever.This is a tutorial on how to create bootable iso file from install.wim file present inside windows setup. While writing this, I just now saw that if I right click on the top level "install.esd" that I can Export ALL to wim.īut yikes! I didn't try it because that's gonna be 7 esd's to convert. Is there a way that I can end my misery of waiting on the esd to uncompress? Success! BUT - it says "Isolated." NTLite gives me a warning that I cannot create an ISO from this wim, with a pop up window telling me that the only way that I can create an ISO is with the esd. So now I point NTLite to the Image Directory but am disappointed to see that NTLite is still showing only esd.Īha! Now I notice that under "Add" that I can chose a wim. The usual long time to uncompress, but I should be rewarded soon.Īfter it's done, I see a wim in my folder now. (But export to where? I assume the same folder as the esd?) So I right click on the Windows 10 Home esd and am pleased to see "Export to WIM." It takes a long time to uncompress an esd on my machine.Īfter 'Liting this iso about 10 times, it occurred to me that I ought to permanently convert the esd to a wim, because wim's load faster.
Okay, so when I double-click on Windows 10 Home, NTLite asks if I want to convert the image to the standard WIM format? ("Yes") I've never had to deal with esd's before.
