# Windows Deployment Services (WDS) boot.wim support
Applies to:
- Windows 10
- Windows 11
The operating system deployment functionality of [Windows Deployment Services](/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2012-r2-and-2012/hh831764(v=ws.11)) (WDS) is being partically deprecated. Starting with Windows 11, workflows that rely on boot.wim from installation media and/or on running Setup.exe in WDS mode will no longer be supported.
When you PXE-boot from a WDS server that uses the **boot.wim** file from installation media as its boot image, Windows Setup automatically launches in WDS mode. This workflow is deprecated for Windows 11 and newer boot images. The following message will be displayed in this scenario:

## What is not impacted
WDS PXE boot is not affected by this change. You can still use WDS to PXE boot devices with a custom boot images, but you will no longer be able to use boot.wim as the boot image and run Windows Setup in WDS mode.
You can still run Windows Setup from a network share. Workflows that leverage a custom boot.wim, such as MDT or Configuration Manager are also not affected by this change.
## Reason for the change
Alternatives to WDS, such as Configuration Manager and MDT provide a better, more flexible, and feature-rich experince for deploying Windows images.
## Summary
- Windows 11 workflows that rely on boot.wim from installation media will be blocked. You cannot perform an end to end deployment of Windows 11 using only WDS.
- Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, and previous operating system versions are not affected by this change.
- Windows Server 2022 workflows that rely on boot.wim from installation media will show a non-blocking deprecation notice that can be dismissed, but the workflow is not blocked.
- Windows Server workflows after Windows Server 2022 that rely on boot.wim from installation media will be blocked.
If you currently use WDS with boot.wim from installation media for end-to-end operating system deployment, and your OS version is not supported, deprecated, or blocked, you can use other deployment tools, such as Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), Configuration Manager, or a non-Microsoft solution with a custom boot.wim image.
