https://technet.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/dn621983.aspx - Create WIMBoot Images

Windows image file boot (WIMBoot) lets you set up a PC so that it runs directly from a compressed Windows image file (WIM file).

With Windows 8.1/10, it's now possible to boot a full system from WIMBoot instead of just an install image. Seems like it might be possible to do this over a network as well.

Any thoughts/attempts yet?
