Windows 10 integrates by default an option for the management of ISO images which can be operating systems, applications and others, so that we do not have to resort to third-party programs or the direct recording of these images, remember that a ISO image (International Standarization Organization) is a type of file that stores all the details of an original DVD, CD or Blu-Ray allowing us to access each of its objects, in Windows 10 we can use the option of “Mount†by clicking right over the ISO image and thus create a virtual drive on the computer and then view the content of that ISO :
Being able to mount an ISO image allows us to save this file in an external memory that later acts as a disk on which to run that program or software. This part of ISO assembly is done virtually and means savings in infrastructure. A problem that some Windows 10 users have presented is that the Mount option is not available and for this purpose TechnoWikis will explain how to correct this and thus allow Mount to be available for the work of ISO images in Windows 10..
We also leave you the video tutorial to enable the option to mount an ISO in Windows 10.
