ISO Disk Images
Programs you download from the web (not the Microsoft Store) often arrive
in a specially encoded, compressed form—a disk image file, also known as
an ISO image (Figure 3-21). Heck, most people got Windows 10 itself as an
ISO file they downloaded.
Disk images are extremely handy; they behave exactly like disks, in that
they can include a whole bunch of related files, folders, and pieces, all
distributed online in just the way the software company intended. And
here’s the good news: You can work with ISO images just as though they’re
disks, too. (In the old days, you had to buy a program like Virtual
CloneDrive to get this feature.)
