This tutorial will show you how to see full details such as language, edition, build, version, architecture, and more for a Windows 11 installation ISO or USB.

A Windows 11 ISO file is a disc image file that can be used to create a Windows 11 installation USB or DVD to install Windows 11 with.


Here's How:

1 Connect the Windows 11 installation USB, or mount the Windows 11 ISO file, and make note of its drive letter (ex: "F:"). (see screenshot below)

2 Open the connected USB flash drive or mounted ISO in File Explorer (Win+E), and open the sources folder. Make note if there is an install.wim or install.esd file. (see screenshot below)

3 You can now close File Explorer.

4 Open an elevated Windows Terminal, and select Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt.

5 Depending on if you have a install.esd or install.wim file from step 2 above, type the appropriate command below into the elevated terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshots below)

This command will show you the index number for each edition of Windows 11 included in the ISO file or USB.


(install.wim)​
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:<Drive Letter>:\sources\install.wim​

OR​

(install.esd)​
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:<Drive Letter>:\sources\install.esd​

Substitute <Drive Letter> in the command above with the actual drive letter (ex: "F") for the USB or mounted ISO from step 1.

For example:
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:F:\sources\install.wim

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:F:\sources\install.esd

6 Depending on if you have a install.esd or install.wim file from step 2 above, type the appropriate command below into the elevated terminal, and press Enter. (see screenshots below step 7)

(install.wim)​
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:<Drive Letter>:\sources\install.wim /index:<Index Number>​

OR​

(install.esd)​
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:<Drive Letter>:\sources\install.esd /index:<Index Number>​

Substitute <Drive Letter> in the command above with the actual drive letter (ex: "F") for the USB or mounted ISO from step 1.

Substitute <Index Number> in the command above with the actual index number (ex: "1") for the edition (ex: "Pro") you want details about from step 5.

For example:
dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:F:\sources\install.wim /index:1

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:F:\sources\install.esd /index:1



7 You will now see all details of the selected index number (edition) for this Windows 11 ISO or USB. (see screenshots below)

Edition: This will be for the Windows 11 Home, Pro, Education, or Enterprise edition. The Pro ISO or USB can be used to install either the Home or Pro edition, and the digital license or product key determines if Pro of Home is installed during Windows Setup.

Architecture: This will be for a x64 (64-bit) or arm64 system type.

Language: This will be the default display language (ex: "en-us") used to install Windows 11 with.

Version: The part after 10.0 will be the first part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100

ServicePack Build This is the second part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100

Brink,

At Step 7, "Version: The part after 10.0 will be the first part of the Windows 11 build number. For example: build 22000.100"
do consider adding a cross reference to
Find Windows 11 Version Number - ElevenForumTutorials
so that people can look up the Version number that matches the Build number they have discovered.

All the best,
Denis

Your diagram is fine.
After you've run NavyLCdr's test, go back to your sources folder in File explorer.
Just to prove you have access, copy one of the files [it doesn't matter which, choose a small one just for convenience] to any old folder you like. You can delete the copy straightaway, the test was just to demonstrate your access.

Best of luck,
Denis

I did the following command for about 3 times, and restarted after each time

Code: 
sfc /scannow

and somehow the following sequence of commands works.

Thank you, Try3 and NavyLCDR for all the help.

Hello @Kehinde, and welcome. :alien:

Usually after step 7, you will see the results to know which build the ISO is for.

Was there something more specific?
