so today I'm going to show you how to
mount ISO files in Windows 10 it is a
feature that's actually already built
into Windows now so that's really nice
you don't need to install any external
programs to do this but not many people
actually know how to do it so I have a
like just a generic ISO file here so
essentially it was just like a disk
image that they can convert it into a
file to make it easy to to pass around
without the actual disk but to actually
mount it on Windows so you can use it
right now you'll see that the image
doesn't look like a disk and that's
indicating that another program is set
to default open iso files so i'm just
gonna go to the file browser here and
then go to the desktop so this is the
iso file that i want to work with
essentially the issue is 7-zip is what
it's set to default open so if I double
click on it it opens in 7-zip but we
need to change that to Windows Explorer
so if I right-click on it and I go to
open with and then I choose actually
I'll go to choose another app and then
set it to always open with Windows
Explorer now I'll hit OK now you'll see
that the icon changed to a little disc
and that's how you know you have it set
up correctly and now it's actually
already mounted like just by doing that
it mounted it on my computer so I can
use it just as if it was a real physical
disc I had in my computer and you can
even right-click on it and inject it and
then in the future if you want to mount
that same image again just right-click
on it and then you can say open with
again and open it with Windows Explorer
or you can just hit mount right here and
again it'll just immediately mount it as
a disk image so it's pretty simple to do
and it's very useful
