    The boot.wim in the original Windows installation image has two volumes. When booting from ISO, only the second bootable volume is called. The second volume is generally called Windows Setup PE, which automatically runs setup.exe after booting.

    Now I want to ask a question. Since I only want it to run setup.exe and perform regular installations, can this boot.wim file be reduced to the limit? Even notepad and the like can be removed, and some running dependencies can be reduced.

    After all, its operating requirement at this time is that it can start the computer normally, run the setup.exe, can recognize the hard disk, and successfully release the install file, restart the computer to boot successfully, I think it can be reduced to about 50mb.
     
  2. the very big question, why?
    leave the boot.wim as is and don't worry about the ~500mb that is being loaded into your RAM
