How to Convert or Export SWIM to WIM?

We know very well that Microsoft given back Split WIM functionality (which is shortly known as SWIM) with new Microsoft Deployment Tool (MDT).

But if we try to do vice versa then you will get a headache. Do you want know the exact situation? I will show you.

Consider we have several swm files (For Example: instalFirstl.swm, installSecond.swm, installThird.swm) and we want to export or merge or convert those files into one WIM.

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.
