# Applying an image

With DISMTools you can easily apply your Windows images to a directory or a drive.

## Usage

1. Specify the source image file to apply. It can be a WIM, SWM or ESD file. If you have loaded a project with an image already mounted, you can also use it
2. Specify the index to apply in the Options group by picking an entry in the "Image index:" combo box
3. Specify the directory or drive to apply the image to. For regular application operations, you can just use the directory option, as applications to a drive are designed for Full Flash Utility (FFU) files

## Options

The options you can perform when applying the image follow the command-line guides, which you can take a look at here.

## SWM naming patterns

When you specify a SWM file, you can specify the naming pattern to use when applying the image.

The program will automatically perform operations required so that you can easily apply it. However, if you want to review these operations, keep reading this section.

To reference SWM files, check the "Reference SWM files" check box, and specify the naming pattern of the SWM files. You can either use the file name of the image as a naming pattern, or specify a naming pattern manually. Click the "Scan pattern" button to test your naming pattern and, if files are found, entries will appear on the list below.
