Top 6 Windows 7 ISO mounting software solutions
Magic Disc
This mounting software works magic on ISO files as it mounts multiple images simultaneously – such a time saver right?
However, you only get up to 15 drives with this tool, which is pretty much better than Virtual CloneDrive, but this one doesn’t have a user-friendly interface like the other tools.
This tool also lets you extract images from optical discs, convert different formats, plus you get to work with your disk image the same way you would have with an active CD/DVD drive.
The best part is you can use it with Windows 7 as it works with the Windows Explorer so you can drag and drop your files and mount with zero hassles.

- How do I mount an ISO file?
On modern editions of the Windows operating system (such as Windows 8.1, 10) ISO files usually don’t need third-party software to be mounted. You just double-click them (as long as they’re not associated with any other program) and Windows should automatically mount them.
- What is the best ISO mounting tool?
Although Windows already has a built-in ISO mounting feature, we have decided that PowerISO is hands down the best third-party software solution for mounting ISO files. It provides you with extra features and is not very difficult to use, even for beginners.
An ISO file (also called ISO image) is a type of archive that comprises a set of identical data found on a physical disc (e.g. CD, DVD). The ISO format is mainly used to backup discs to your computer, or prepare a collection of data for being burned on a disc.
