But the most modern UEFI-based PCs require a bootable USB with FAT32 file format to boot Windows installation.

In the following part, you could find the top 2 solutions and now lets delve into them.

See the steps below:

Step 1: Mount the ISO image and extract the requiredinstall.wimfrom the sources folder.

know ISO install.wim index

Sometimes you see install.esd instead of install.wim.

Step 2: Run Command Prompt with admin rights typecmdinto the search box and clickRun as administrator.

ReplaceI:\sources\install.wimwith your correct path to the install.wim.

Rufus create bootable USB

Step 5: Execute this commandDism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:I:\sources\install.wim /SourceIndex:6 /DestinationImageFile:c:\Mount\install.wim.

This operation can reduce the install.wim file size to less than 4GB.

But sometimes this method cannot fix install.wim too large.

In this case, move to the next way.

See these steps:

Step 1: Open Command Prompt with admin rights.

Step 2: TypeDism /Split-Image /ImageFile:I:\sources\install.wim /SWMFile:I:\sources\install.swm /FileSize:4700and pressEnter.

4700 means the maximum size in MB for each of the created split .swm files.

This way can avoid the error install.wim file too large.
