Install windows faster than you ever thought possible

Today we are going to look at convert-windowsimage this is a replacement for the old wim2vhd tool from sysinternals. This tool can take a windows ISO file and in one command convert it into a useable sysprepped VHD/VHX file for use in hyper-v . This is probably the fastest way to install Windows 11 or multiple copies of any windows operating system into a virtual environment should you have an ISO and need a vm,
We will also cover differencing disks which are like linked-disks in VMware. Where we can take a single source virtual hard drive and connect it to multiple Virtual Machines at the same time.
This make for very fast deployment of multiple virtual machines in a lab or a live environment.
I hope you enjoy this tutorial on windows 11 the fastest install method and you will join me again in the future for more Microsoft Windows and Azure content

Will there be any issues in the two dif disks if the source disk gets deleted by accident ?

Yes, the diff disks will be dead until you link them back to an identical source disk. They need to source disk to live.
