    @SunLion, thanks for the answer. Can I copy the file that is the current version and just replace it with yours in the archive, without any corrections needed?! As far as I understand from what you wrote - I only replace the existing file with the current version and nothing more.

    @SunLion, regarding my question from last week - when using LTSC ISO - the possibility for the script to generate LTSC in the name of the file being created - did you give up on that suggestion? :}

    As @bendeyar said, copy and replace only ''W10UI.cmd''.

    Regarding the ISO name, I've already adjusted the _CreateISO.cmd script and the main script to capture the information beforehand.

    Test and see.

    The separation occurs because boot.wim and install.wim are used in different phases of the installation process. Boot.wim loads the temporary installation environment (WinPE), while install.wim contains the complete operating system that will actually be installed on your computer.

    Below are the details of each file and which drivers should be integrated into them:

    boot.wim (Installation Environment/WinPE)

    This file is loaded into RAM as soon as the computer begins the installation process. It requires only the essential drivers needed for the Windows setup program to function correctly and recognize basic hardware.

    What to integrate here:
    • Storage controller drivers (such as Intel RST/VMD) so the installer can detect the SSD or HDD.
    • USB 3.0 (or higher) drivers, which are essential if the keyboard/mouse fail to work during installation or the USB drive is not recognized.
    • Network drivers, if you are installing Windows from a network server (WDS/MDT).

    install.wim (Operating System)

    This file is the Windows image itself. This is where all the components that will run on your computer on a daily basis are located.

    What to integrate here:
    • Motherboard drivers (chipset, audio, network, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth).
    • Video drivers (dedicated video card).
    • Any other device drivers you use.

    It is not necessary to place the install.wim drivers inside boot.wim. If you do this, the installation environment will be cumbersome and the drivers will not be transferred to the final Windows installation anyway.

    This applies some customizations to the boot screen—specifically, it adds a pleasant image to replace that purple screen. It has no impact on the installation or the image size.

    No, absolutely not.

    In this case, it would be necessary to examine the log file to see what might have happened.

    For example, in my last test, the install.wim image ended up with an average size of 3.9 GB, and the boot.wim with 407 MB.
    See the attached image.

    Just like we want it! Do you ever compare build install size with SunLion's updates?
