What is a WIM file? WIM stands for Windows Imaging Format. Files that have the .wim file extension contain disk images that can be mounted within the Windows operating system. These files allow a user to use the disk image on multiple computer platforms. WIM files are very similar to other disk image formats, but this file format is file-based and not and not sector-based like most disk image formats. Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista both use the WIM file format as a part of their installation process.
