About WIM
WIM stores a Windows installation as a collection of files rather than a sector-by-sector copy, and stores identical files once. The install.wim inside a Windows installer is a WIM holding the system, and administrators use WIMs for deployment.
WIM is a Windows deployment format that general file tools do not open. WIM is what Windows setup and deployment tools expect.
