If you have a Windows 10 ISO, then mount it. If you have a USB or DVD, then insert it. Look in the sources folder. If you have a dual 32-bit/64-bit ISO, USB or DVD there will be a sources folder under each x86 and x64 folder. In the sources folder will either be install.wim or install.esd.
I don't think you can convert from wim to esd, but here is how to convert esd to wim:

I've burned 3 of those iso's the last one the iso was downloaded direct from MS. So I DBAN'ed the HDD and tried a clean install of 10. I tried 3 times with 3 different discs and they all stopped at 15%.
The upgrade from 7 was easy and it works fine. I just can't install from disc. I hope the factory DVD's will work better than the burned ones.
edit: I always check the verify box and it always fails to verify. I tried turning off all virus protection and it still wont verify.
Just a thought..
You can not use DVD-RW disks..
They have to be DVD-R disks..

Hello
I made 2 discs exactly the same way.
I used Tech Bench and created DVDs.
When I right click file explorer on the left for one I see; Win 10 iso.wim.
When I right click file explorer on the left for the other I see; J_CCSA_x64FRE_EN_US_DV5.
For the 2nd, with the odd looking characters, when I look to sources, I see,"wimprovider.dll".
Why are they different and more importantly will they both do the same job of installing and repairing with DISM?

Hi,
The second dvd seems to be burned correctly. The "Sources" directory/folder should contain a file by the name of "install.wim".
That's the one that DISM would use if you pointed it to that path.
The first dvd however seems like a "coaster" to me.
Cheers,
Win10_1511_EN_64 is what I see when I click to download. Is that correct? That is what is says on the bad disc which i cannot expand.
I need the site to download athe file for Win 10 Pro x 64 as .WIM
TY
