   Windows 10 can mount .iso and .img image files. .iso is for optical   
   CD/DVDs images, i.e., ISO 9660.  .img files are for floppy disk images,   
   and can be either compressed or not.   
      
   Windows usually supported ISO 9660 extensions like Rock Ridge, Joliet,   
   and El Torito.   
      
   Some versions of Windows can mount .zip files.   
      
   Various M$ OSes support file systems NTFS, exFAT, FAT, UDF, CDFS (ISO   
   9660).   
      
   The only CD formats that I've used with Windows are ISO 9660, ISO 9660   
   w/ Joliet, and UDF.   
      
   If the other format Joe mentioned works for you, that's great, but it   
   probably won't work on older OSes, including older versions of Windows.
