Mount or Unmount ISO and IMG file in Windows 10

That's great news Greg.

Thanks for asking that question gregyurkon :0)
My ISO files were not associated with the default built-in handler either.

Has this been changed on Windows 10 Anniversary Edition?
I have no "mount" option available when I right click an ISO.
When I enter Power Shell Administrator Mode and enter the command like I am supposed to, I do not get an acknowledgement or error message. It just accepts the command and then nothing, no virtual cd drive.

No, I still see the Mount option (Home x64, version 1607, OS build 14393.447). Try resetting the default association for ISO files as @Brink shows in post #4 here:

Hi, would be good to add a note to cover Mount not being available in the context menu if iso files have been associated with an installed program.

Thanks.

I have just associated ISO files with 7-Zip Portable, and "Mount" is now unavailable as shown below:

To mount ISO files, selecting Open with > Windows Explorer always works, even when Mount option is not shown in context menu.

That's true. Perhaps a note to that effect should also be added to the tutorial.

Thank you dalchina and Kari.

The tutorial has now been updated to include this.

In option three, the following command is used on PowerShell:

Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath "C:\User\Russell\Desktop\9879.ENTERPRISE_X64.ISO"

I found that it can also be used on Command Prompt:

PowerShell Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath "G:\Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso"

To unmount it, use the following command:

PowerShell Dismount-DiskImage -ImagePath "G:\Win10_1903_V1_English_x64.iso"

Should the "Command Prompt" method be added into this tutorial?
