Windows 10: Applying the Wim file of Windows 10 1909 UEFI

After applying the wim file of Windows 10 UEFI 1909 on a new hard drive noticed the hard drive is not boot able. I did not have this problem with Windows 10 UEFI 1903.


After applying the wim file was complete I got this massage:


Boot configuration Data (BCD) Identifier: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000


Please advise,

Best regards

:)

 

Compacting a wim file?

Sorry, no idea where to put this. I just recently learned how to use dism. I use it to slipstream all hotfixes and ie10 ect into an AIO install disc. The problem is, it creates a huge install.wim after 8 index mounts and slipstreams. Considering all 8 images use the same darn wim and files, don't know why it has to increase the wim size by 1gig. Either I need to figure out how to use the same wim.install file for all indexes, or I need to compact the wim file which is now 4gbs with ie10 and all updates to April. Any way to do either?

 

Compacting a wim file?

Actually it turns out the answer is the dism that comes with Win8. Using the new Export-Image command, and a simple batch file, was able to compress my AIO wim by several hundred mbs.
