What is the purpose of using the 3rd party software, when win 10 can mount and extract anything on its own?

Thanks for providing this. Adding some other links for people in the beginning of this process. I'm not trying to claim any is better, just propogating alternatives. 


A page that combines information from both processes, for people who do better with textual instructions rather than videos, this page link shows both this method (as the "manual" method) as well as using Rufus.

If you are using Windows 8+ you can just mount ISO by double clicking on it

[Dexterx]
