How do i make the windows installer recognise my split .svm file

Since the .wim file is over 4gb i had to split it using wimlib into .svm files. However the windows installer won’t recognise these new files and fails the installation. I am on a mid 2012 mac.


How do i make the windows installer recognise the files? I used this guide to create the bootable usb https://alexlubbock.com/bootable-windows-usb-on-mac.

Thanks in advance

You may want to take a look at https://twocanoes.com/using-larger-windows-10-isos-with-boot-camp-assistant/. The files should be named .swm (split wim) for the Installer to recognize them. If you named them as .svm not .swm, you will run into issues.
