Best way to make a new VHD from a Windows 10 ISO

Ok, you're describing how to convert an image to another format. That is a handy tool indeed if you need it. In this thread I am still looking for any advice on on how to create such an image (in whatever format, e.g. VHD, VHDX) while I am working in my live system inside a running Windows 10 VHD booted by Ventoy. There I would like to take a new Windows 10 ISO that has been downloaded previously either by using the Microsoft's Media Creation Tool or directly using a download manager and prepare a new VHD that I can boot the next time using Ventoy so that I can abandon my existing VHD with a dated version of Windows 10 that I used to create the successor, most likely with a more modern version of Windows 10. But how to get this is still not resolved for me.
To do that you would need a few tools from Microsoft and you would need to manually extract the wim install image to the mounted VHD on Linux it called wim-tools.And wim-image is the command,  I THINK it's called  DSIM for Microsoft. You would need to manually set the boot partition with parted on windows I think it's DISKPART,  , really its possible, would take me a few days to figure out and remember all the commands.
Then there is also a command that installs the boot loader. Really would take a while to set up a working script.

ASLO Note that THE image is mounted differently on Linux than it is on a virtual machine so I also bet the same for windows. Can you mount a Virtual box image in WINDOWS?
I think the plugin only searchs the offset for virtual machine made VHD. When windows makes a VHD I think it my be raw image.
