Although you can find a lot of tools to work with images, Windows 10 includes the ability to mount and mount ISO files natively without the need for extra software.

On Windows 10, you can access the content of an image in at least three different ways using File explorer. You can double-click the file, you can use the content menu option, or the option available in the ribbon menu.

Once you complete these steps, the ISO file will open like any other folder, allowing you to access and extract the contents as necessary. Once you complete the steps, you can access the contents of the image by selecting the virtual drive from the left navigation pane. If you have a third-party tool to open compressed files such as. When this happens, you won’t see an option to mount images. However, you can still right-click, select the Open with submenu, and select the Windows Explorer option to mount the ISO.

Once you are no longer using the image, you can quickly unmount the file by right-clicking the virtual drive under This PC in File Explorer and selecting the Eject option. Once you complete the steps, the ISO image will mount, and you will be able to access the contents to install the application or extract the image contents from the newly-available drive letter.

After you complete the steps, the virtual drive will be removed, and the image will no longer be accessible until you mount it again. Mauro Huculak is technical writer for WindowsCentral.

Just the direct ‘Mount’ option goes missing in the context menu if you have, like me, installed an app such as PowerISO. You’re correct. Thanks for the heads up. Usually works, unless Mount used a drive letter which is assigned to a network share that is disconnected at the moment the mount is done, then you only have the network drive “Disconnect” option.

Powershell saved me in that situation. Very important features. Loved this ever since Win8. I got exactly what I was looking for. Great stuff, though, especially the powershell command. I ran a help on it, as I’ve never used it before, and I can’t see an obvious switch to mount an ISO as a specific letter.

I do see a -NoDriveLetter option, as with some others to mount as read-only or read-write. I wonder if it’s possible to edit an ISO using the read-write method?

Does W10 offer cloning feature? Let said I have 5 identical PC and done setting up one, is there a feature in w10 that allow me to push a clone to the other unit? It is best however to download the windows 10 adk and make a WinPE bootable flash drive that can be use to boot and capture and deploy the image. It’s free and available for anyone running windows You also may want to run sysprep before copying but you don’t have to. YouTube will be your friend if your new to this.

Let me know if you need help. That is actually a very useful explanation! I’ve been trying to clone Windows Server R2 with little to no result. Before I try it, does your explanation still stand for Windows Server R2? Just since its server if your using raid this can make thing a bit complicated to accomplish but it is still possible. If you want to have some real fun, download and install MDT. Follow the instructions to create a reference image and target image task sequence to capture reference and deploy target an image to machines from the MDT repository.

This allows you to fully automate the build process and use a base image to deploy with other applications and drivers added through the target image. The target image can also handle the domain join. If you are going to capture an image using dism or imagex, make sure that the image you are capturing is not domain joined. In fact, you should also make sure that you run all phases of WinPE to prep and finalize the image. You also don’t want to capture drivers.

That is why WinPE is designed to strip drivers and identifiers before you capture an image. MDT’s built-in task sequences take care of that for you. So, the last thing you want to do is “clone” an image unless you are going to reapply it to the exact same machine and hardware. Windows system imaging is more robust for redeploying an image to other endpoints but it is also more complex. Coz double-clicking is so hard.

Wow never knew that! Thanks ;. I’ve always user Daemon Tools Lite up until today. Didn’t know about this. Anyone know of any difference when using either methods? Been years since I used Daemon Tools, so I couldn’t tell you the differences. It was originally written for a time when that functionality was not built into Windows. Now that it IS built in, I would imagine most people wouldn’t need third party software, no matter how good it is.

There is a light-and-day difference in speed. Likewise, I wasn’t aware that Windows had native support for mounting. That’s one more third party app I can get rid of. That’s what you do when you want to “burn” the ISO file to your thumb drive. I have a machine with Win10 Home Edition installed, but I can’t see this “Mount” function in the right-click context menu, however I have another laptop machine for work, installed with Win10 Professional Edition, it has this “Mount” function.

Does it mean I happen to forget to install some certain features in Win10 Home? I really don’t want to install any 3rd-party software to mount iso files in my machine, I don’t quite trust them. Well, the windows just asks me to choose which program to open iso files Use Windows Explorer. So how can I make Windows mounting option as default and remove the third party default settings?
