What is a WIM file?

Windows Imaging Format (WIM) is a file unveiled by Windows Vista. It is made up of up to six various resources, namely metadata, header, file, lookup table, Integrity table as well as XML data. Its primary purpose if for the installation of Windows software to new devices. They are similar to other disk image formats except for that data WIM files are file-based. What that means is you can use Single Storage technology to store multiples of data. This gives independence as well as on-time storage. Additionally, you do not have to go through the stress of opening and closing various files which reduces the chances of re-occurrence of similar records. As it saves data in either a number or a unique name, each data created similar to already existing information is not included. They are ideal for managing updates as well as drivers without having to restart OS images.
