What do you need to do with an ISO file?
Open an ISO without burning
Windows can mount standard ISO files directly. PowerISO also offers supported virtual-drive workflows.
Make a Windows installation USB
Write a bootable ISO to an empty USB device, then confirm the target firmware can boot it.
Convert BIN/CUE to ISO
Inspect track information before converting; multi-track disc layouts require caution.
Check compatibility and evaluation limits
Choose the right Windows build and review the free evaluation limits before editing large images.
Disc burning and imaging
Build or inspect disc images and record supported CD, DVD and Blu-ray media, with the correct workflow for each output.
Virtual drive
Mount a compatible image for browsing through File Explorer without first writing optical media.
Archives and image formats
Open, extract, edit and convert supported file containers while keeping a backup of your original.
Bootable USB tools
Prepare installation and recovery USB media with attention to device selection and UEFI compatibility.
Audio disc tasks
Create audio CDs, build MP3 data discs and archive tracks using supported output formats.
Windows image servicing
Explore WIM/ESD and virtual disk workflows while avoiding unintended changes to system images.
