Convert WIM to VHD

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert WIM to VHD?
Yes - WIM converts to VHD.

Apply the WIM's files into a new virtual hard disk (.vhd/.vhdx) for VMs/Hyper-V: create and format the VHD, then 'dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:install.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:<vhd-mount>'. Not a direct file conversion - you apply the image.

Also to VHD: GHO · VHDX · VDI
