How to Mount ISO Files with UltraISO
An ISO file is a disc image. Many game releases still ship in this format.
Windows 10 / 11: no extra software needed
- Right-click the .iso file.
- Choose Mount.
- Windows creates a virtual DVD drive with the image contents — open it in This PC and run the setup.
- When done, right-click the virtual drive → Eject.
Windows 7: use UltraISO
Windows 7 has no built-in mounting, so install UltraISO from the official ultraiso.com website.
- Install and run UltraISO.
- Open the ISO file inside the program (File → Open).
- Choose Tools → Mount to Virtual Drive (or press F6).
- The image appears as a virtual drive — install the game from it.
UltraISO also converts between image formats (BIN, NRG, CDI, MDF) if you ever need that.
