After a lot of googling this morning I was able to find out how to determine the version of the Windows ISO file. This was important to me because I needed to know if the ISO I had included SP1 or not. This should work for Vista and up, basically any windows that has WIM files within.
First you will need to mount the ISO file to a computer so you can browse it. Then open up a command prompt as administrator and run the following command.
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:E:\sources\install.wim /index:1
(E is the drive letter for the mounted ISO file)
Here is an example of the output from the command for a Windows 7 Enterprise ISO without any service packs.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:E:\sources\install.wim /index:1 Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool Version: 6.1.7600.16385 Details for image : E:\sources\install.wim Index : 1 Name : Windows 7 ENTERPRISE Description : Windows 7 ENTERPRISE Size : 11,912,905,130 bytes Architecture : x64 Hal : acpiapic Version : 6.1.7600 ServicePack Build : 16385 ServicePack Level : 0 Edition : Enterprise Installation : Client ProductType : WinNT ProductSuite : Terminal Server System Root : WINDOWS Directories : 13629 Files : 64547 Created : 7/14/2009 - 12:49:53 AM Modified : 7/14/2009 - 2:43:28 AM Languages : en-US (Default) The operation completed successfully.

Thanks man! I couldn’t tell which USB drive of mine was 7 or 8!
If you want to use the same method for checking a Windows 8 ISO, you can replace “install.wim” with “install.esd”.
Sorry, disregard the previous comment. I meant: replace “install.wim” with “boot.wim”.
Muchas gracias!
You also can change “/index:1” to “/index:2”.. “/index:3” and etc to check if there is also another version of windows inside the same ISO file.
Great solution, just what I needed. Thanks mate!
Thank you very much!

Thank you!
Still works (NOT 100% sure, will post an update)
I checked Windows 10 iso for build number 10586.
Confirmed!
I successfully update Windows 10 to build 10586.
I tried before and I found that I just reinstalled the same build that I was running. Then I searched how to verify the build version and came here
Thank you Wayne Zimmerman
Thanks!!
Thanks mate, although it did’t work in my case (Win 10) at first. But when I changed install.wim to install.esd, than it worked.
dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:E:\sources\install.esd /index:1
Thank you man!
works! thank you!
