  2. Replace the install.wim file in the Windows ISO image.
    1. Open AnyBurn and select Edit Image File.

    2. Select the ISO image and click Next.
    3. Select the sources folder. Then, find the install.wim file and delete it.
    4. Click Add. Select the custom WIM file and click Add.
    5. Click Next. Change the image file name and click Create Now.
    6. Wait until the new ISO image file is generated.
