# Create Imaging Association

## What

Use the **New Image Association** button in the imaging association view to assign a Windows image to one or more devices. A driver pack can also be selected when the device model requires one.

## When/Why

Create an imaging association when a Windows device needs to be linked to the image it should receive during imaging. Each device can have only one active imaging association at a time.

## How

Choose the image with **Choose Image**, add an optional driver pack with **Select Driver(s)**, and choose the target device or devices with **Select Device(s)**. Save the association after the required image and device selections are complete.

<p class="callout info">If you add an association for a device that already has one, FileWave prompts you to either overwrite the existing association or cancel.</p>
