Is it possible to mount an ISO image in Windows 8 without third-party software?
I often have to access ISO images to install software on my machine. Typically I install a third-party tool to mount the ISO file and expose it as a virtual drive within Windows.
Examples of third-party tools I have used are:
- Virtual CloneDrive
- Daemon Tools
I am now using Windows 8 and would like to know if it is possible to mount an ISO image within Windows without installing a third-party tool.
Windows 8 includes the functionality to mount an ISO image and expose it as a virtual drive within Windows without using 3rd party software.
- Locate an ISO file
- Right click and select Mount from the context menu or double click on the ISO file
It will be automatically mounted by Windows 8 and exposed as a virtual drive.
