Win10 Install.wim?

[MediaSVI]

I used wimlib to split the Windows 10 .iso file Install.wim beause it is over 4gb and I am using a usb drive formatted to Fat32 how do you get Windows to see both the split files that are makeup the Install.wim file?

Thank you for your time.

I've had success with Windows 11 like so:

Code: Select all

wimsplit install.wim install.swm 3800

This will generate install.swm and install2.swm; you just need to put them in the sources directory on the FAT32 USB drive where install.wim was.

Here's how you do it on Windows without wimlib, for reference:

As an aside, you might consider formatting your USB drive as exFAT. It maintains the simple permission-less kind of file system like FAT32 is, but there's no file size limit.

exFAT isn't usable on very old versions of Windows, or very old Linux, very old Mac, but everything from the past good few years will support it.
