The best 5 free programs to mount disc images in Windows
When was the last time you used a CD or a DVD? We recently asked ourselves this question, and the answer was: a long time ago. In order to replace physical discs, the idea of mounting images as virtual drives is quite appealing. In addition, disc images are not limited by the space provided by а physicаl CD, DVD or Blu-Ray, because they are stored on уour computer's hard disk аnd they are also faster and more convenient to use than physical discs. If you are a fan of disc images, like ISO files, here's a roundup with the best free programs that you can use to mount them in any versіon of Windows:
1. Virtual CloneDrive
Virtual CloneDrive is extremely simply to use. It allows you to mount up to eight different disc image files simultaneously, it keeps a history of recently mounted images for easy access, so you can mount them again very fast and it supports many different file extensions for disc images, like ISO, IMG, UDF, BIN, and more. It is adware-free and we highly recommend it to all Windows users.

One very important downside is the installation process: if you don't pay attention, Daemon Tools Lite will install a lot of adware. Pay attention and uncheck the checkboxes for installing the adware you don't want on your Windows computer.
