Introduction
The Windows Imaging Format (WIM) is a file-based disk image format. It was developed by Microsoft to help deploy Windows Vista and subsequent versions of the Windows operating system family.
Prepare
- Windows .wim Image - You need a copy of the Windows .wim image, which can be downloaded from Install.WIM.
- USB drive - We need this as the installation media
- ROCK Pi X - It doesn't matter if the board has OS running already or not, as long as we have proper BIOS installed, we can install a new OS
- Keyboard/mouse and HDMI monitor for ROCK Pi X - We need to operate on ROCK Pi X
- Rockpi_x_win10_installer - It is a small WinPE system, we will use it to complete the deployment of Wim images. Download here rockpi_x_win10_installer.tar.gz
- Another PC(HOST PC) running Windows or Linux - We need to make bootable USB drive from Rockpi_x_win10_installer on this PC
Step 1: Make a bootable USB disk from Rockpi_x_win10_installer
Windows HOST
We use Rockpi_x_win10_installer to make a boot disk on Windows:
1. Insert your USB flash drive into the Windows host, we will use the diskpart command tool to format the USB flash drive:
