First, I removed all W10 editions except "Windows 10 Enterprise" - so, only the following images were left inside the parent ESD image in the end:īy doing this, I could shrink the size of the original ESD image by approx. NTLite to accomplish that, which also supports ESD decrypting & converting. Then I wanted to create an ISO image out of it, in order to make a Win10 Enterprise installation DVD. It contains almost all Windows 10 editions in ESD image format, Build 17763.379 stable. I have downloaded the following file directly from Microsoft:ġ5_release_svc_refresh_CLIENTBUSINESS_VOL_圆4FRE_de-de. If you need to Apply the ISO Image file to USB Drive with Rufus, you can check the guide in the link.Creating ISO file out of an ESD image -> too big to fit inside DVD, if converted to WIM install error 0xc0000225, if left unchanged in ESD format! You can burn it to DVD, apply to USB drive or anything else that suite your needs. => Browse for NTLite.iso file location (You can take any name, like: Windows7x86.iso)Īfter the process is finished, you will get your final Bootable ISO file. It will be listed under "Image history" => Select "Operating systems | install.wim"

=> Image file (WIM, ESD, SWM) => Choose "C:\MountedISO\sources\install.wim" Overwrite the file C:\MountedISO\sources\install.wim Copy all the contents of the mounted ISO to some folder, like: “C:\MountedISO\” Mount the Original ISO file that you made your updated WIM file from.

Install it (There is an option to install as portable). Now you want to make it bootable and return it back to the ISO image file and burn it to DVD or make a bootable USB Drive: Make bootable ISO Image from your WIM file with NTLite Changing the features of the installed system, making unattended.xml, adding drivers, updates, etc.

The main features of NTLite is modifying the Bootable ISO images of Windows installations. There is an option of installing it as portable version.

NTLite is a free software (though there is a paid version available with more features and business plans). You could create it with MDT (Microsoft Deployment Toolkit), SCCM (Microsoft Software Center Configuration Manager), Sysprep, or any other tools that can help you there. Or you can update “boot.wim” with the drivers that you need to boot your particular system / hardware that won’t load by default. You can create updated “install.wim” file with your favorite programs installed, added Windows features and security updates or anything else. “boot.wim” is Windows PE (Windows Pre-installation Environment) that boots the installation media, to deploy “install.wim”, which contains the Windows files. There are 2 files available: “boot.wim” and “install.wim”. By default, “*.WIM” images are located in DVDMedia:\sources\
