    On ISOs, how do I strip out unwanted editions, options I don't want?

    For example, I want to just have the Professional option ready and not everything else, like Home, Education, or anything like those.

    How do I do it?

    Export the SKU into the new image that you want to keep

    Code:
    Dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:install.wim /SourceIndex:<index number you require> /DestinationImageFile:<name of new image>.wim
    This will create a new wim file that only contains the one index, and is also slightly smaller than the original. Make sure you select the correct index for SourceIndex
