If they are portable you can just add them into the program files folder, something like 7-zip, or wimlib can do that.I have another question for you. I have installed a few more software programs that I would like to have on my custom recovery.
Or mount the wim, drop them in, then unmount with commit.
Is there any way with this mettod to had a shortcut key for recovery partition when booting the pc, example pressing F11 on boot? prefer that then seeing a timed menu to boot it up, i know aomei onekey can do that but from what i read if you unninstal the aplication from current working windows it stops working.
Just to compare:
I am making a video about this procedure. On reference machine I am using to capture video, used space on C: drive is about 28 G, which creates a 7 GB install.wim when captured.
If maths in computing were straight forward, your used space on C: being double compared to my reference machine, your captured image should be about 14 GB, but it is actually 40% more, 23.2 GB.
OK, computer storage maths are not as straight forward. There could be multiple reasons for your image being so big. For instance, some files and file types are compressed with better ratio than others.
I think there's no reason to be worried, the size of your captured image being within acceptable limits. I was just a bit worried, that's all.
