### Extending the above to allow booting of multiple Windows images from one boot.wim
Before you do this make sure you know how to follow the basics above.

Step 1. `copype amd64 C:\WinPE_amd64`.

Step 2. `Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"C:\WinPE_amd64\media\sources\boot.wim" /Index:1 /MountDir:"C:\WinPE_amd64\mount"`.

Step 3. Open notepad as Administrator and the open "C:\WinPE_amd64\mount\Windows\System32\startnet.cmd" and add the following subsiuting your own nework share info.
`wpeinit
net use F: \\192.168.0.24\iso\Win10_22H2_English_x64 /user:winPE PublicPassword123
F:\init.bat`

Step 4. `Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:C:\WinPE_amd64\mount /Commit`.

Step 5. Upload "C:\WinPE_amd64\media\sources\boot.wim" to your netboot server as per the above in step 3.

Step 6. Create "\\192.168.0.24\iso\Win10_22H2_English_x64\init.bat" and add.
`F:\setup.exe`
If you would like to use a unattend.xml file you can use.
`F:\setup.exe /unattend:F:\unattend.xml`

The above should now boot the boot.wim and then auto start the setup.exe. You could always extend your init.bat to contain a selection menu to chose what setup.exe you boot from Winodws 10 or 11.
