What’s the Problem is?

DISM supports this performance, which is known to be shot by an “export-image” command but I try to find the right syntax to work with it. Finally, after go through long search I got that.

Here is that answer for you.

Step 1:

Create a new Folder and place all the. SWM files into that folder.

Step 2:

Open Command Prompt in Administrator and point to the New Folder.

Step 3:

Run the Following Command.

dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:install.swm /swmfile:install*.swm /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:installFirst.wim /Compress:max /CheckIntegrity

Step 4:

Copy the new WIM to a different place and clean your temporary folder.

Now All the. SWIM files (instalFirstl.swm, installSecond.swm, installThird.swm) are merged to Merged.WIM file. Enjoy.
