    mount an ISO at boot?


    Since we can boot to Command Prompt in Windows 10 is it possible to mount an ISO directly from that? Assume I didn't burn the ISO or load it to USB first.
    In my case System File Checker is asking for a drive letter to use as a reference file system.

    Did you see this list of pages?
    mount .iso from command prompt at DuckDuckGo
    I haven't tried doing it yet but looks like it may be possible.
