How do I extract an edition from an ISO so that it will fit on a DVD?

Which edition? DVD should be fine to fit 4,37 GB, that is usually enough. Enterprise is 3GB, Pro is 4,1GB, etc.

I downloaded 16232 and 16251 from the Windows Insider site.

16232 burns to a DVD+R. 16251 doesn't.

There are four editions on the 16251 which I installed from a USB drive.

I want to burn 16251 so as I can fit it on a DVD+R.

Yeah, Insider is not really optimized for that. You can download UUP or use your own files and create ISO.

You can download a homebrew ISO (from a trusted site), but it is not really recommended, I did though.

Use a double sided dvd disk unless your writer is positively ancient!

Easy to do, although space saved might not be enough to you.

1.) Mount your multi-edition Windows 10 ISO

2.) Open an elevated Command Prompt or PowerShell

3.) Check available editions with following command replacing drive letter and path in WimFile:W:\Sources\install.wim (or install.esd) with the actual drive letter and path to install.wim on your mounted ISO. Note the index number for your preferred edition:

dism /Get-WimInfo /Wimfile:W:\Sources\install.wim

In this example I have the official Slow Ring ISO for build 16251 which contains 9 editions. As I would like to extract the W10 PRO image, I will use its index number 8:



4.) Run following command, replacing drive letter and path in SourceImageFile with actual path to install.wim (or install.esd) on your mounted ISO, SourceIndex number with the actual index of edition you want to extract, and DestinationImageFile path with path where you want to save the extracted single edition install.wim:

dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:W:\Sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:1 /DestinationImageFile:D:\install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity



5.) Copy the full ISO content from mounted ISO to a folder (I use folder ISO_Files for this) on your hard disk, then replace the original install.wim file in ISO_Files\Sources folder with your extracted single edition install.wim and finally create new ISO as told in Part Five in this tutorial: Create Windows 10 ISO image from Existing Installation Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

That's it. In this example, the space saved was just under half a GB. Original Build 16251 Multi Edition ISO (UK English) install.wim with 9 editions:



Extracted single edition W10 PRO install.wim:

Thanks @Kari! I was just going through your tutorial to figure out where to point the OP to create the ISO file after he extracted the single edition to a new install.wim file - and you beat me to it!

You are welcome :)

OK. Success so far. Going to try to make the ISO now.
