If you’re like most people, you probably have a few discs lying around that you could use to create an ISO image of your Windows operating system. This is a great way to back up your computer and keep it running smoothly, but it can also be a bit of a hassle to do this manually. Luckily, there’s an easy way to do this without any fuss - using ImgBurn. ImgBurn is a great program that can create ISO images from discs, and it’s very user-friendly. Plus, it’s free to use! To start off, open ImgBurn and click on the “Browse” button. Then, select the disc you want to use as the source for your ISO image. Once you’ve selected the disc, click on the “Create” button. ImgBurn will start up and will ask you for some basic information about your disc. You’ll need to provide some basic information such as the name of the disc (or drive), the size of the disk (in MB), and whether or not you want to include any pictures or videos. After providing these details, click on the “Create” button again. ImgBurn will now start creating your ISO image from your disc - it should take about 10 minutes or so to complete. Once it’s done, please check out our gallery below for a look at how our simple Windows ISO creation process went!
Create ISO with ImgBurn
While there are several different utilities that will create an ISO, one of our favorites is ImgBurn. It’s free, let’s you create an ISO, and can burn about anything you want it to disc. To create an ISO open ImgBurn and select Create image file from disc from the main menu.
In the next step select the drive that contains the disc in this example it’s Windows 95, select the destination directory for the ISO, and select Read Speed. When everything looks good click on the Read button to begin the process.
ImgBurn starts converting the disc to an ISO image and you can view the progress and ImgBurn logs. You can choose what the disc does after the file is finished and can stop the process at any time if you need to as well.
Here we see the completed Windows 95 ISO that was created and we can begin using it on a virtual machine.
And it works! The ISO is fully functional and we can begin installing Windows 95 on a virtual machine (does this bring back memories or what).
