It means that the image is meant for mounting into virtual machine with similar hardware specifications. Anyway, the build tag for Windows 7 Build 7227 is 7227.0.winmainsp.0, which indicates. .VHD and.WIM files. Recent E2B versions can directly MBR-boot from certain types of.WIM,.VHD and VHDX files.
