HOW TO CONVERT INSTALL.ESD TO INSTALL.WIM ON WINDOWS

 You can use the built-in DISM.exe command line tool to convert an ESD file to the WIM format. Open the command prompt as Administrator and go to the folder containing the ESD file.

                                     cd c:\esd

The install.esd file can contain several editions of Windows. Each Windows edition in the image file has an assigned index number (1,2,3,4,…). List the available Windows editions in your install.esd image file using the DISM.

                        DISM /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:install.esd

In this case, the install.esd file contains seven different Windows 11editions, indexed from 1 to 7. In this example, we will extract the Windows 11 Pro edition with index 6.

dism /export-image /SourceImageFile:install.esd /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:install.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity
