DESCRIPTION


The Export-WindowsImage cmdlet exports a copy of the specified image to another image file. The source and destination files must use the same compression type.


You can also optimize an image by exporting to a new image file with Export-WindowsImage. When you modify an image, DISM stores additional resource files that increase the
overall size of the image. Exporting the image will remove unnecessary resource files.


This cmdlet does not apply to virtual hard disk (VHD) files.
