To mount an ISO image in Windows 7, 8, and 10, you can use the built-in functionality of Windows. Here are the steps:

  1. Locate the ISO image that you want to mount.
  2. Right-click on the ISO image file and select “Mount” from the context menu. If you don’t see the “Mount” option, you may need to install a third-party ISO mounting software.
  3. The ISO image will be mounted as a virtual drive and will be assigned a drive letter automatically. You can access the contents of the ISO image by opening Windows Explorer and browsing to the drive letter assigned to the mounted ISO image.
  4. To unmount the ISO image, right-click on the virtual drive in Windows Explorer and select “Eject” from the context menu.

Note: If you are using Windows 7, you may need to install the free Windows Virtual CD-ROM Control Panel from Microsoft to mount ISO images. This tool allows you to mount up to 15 virtual CD/DVD drives simultaneously.
