+-------------
+
+### Description
+A basic UUP converter aimed for Linux users who don't have access to any
+Windows machine, but want or need to create ISO image for latest Windows
+Insider version downloaded from UUP dump.
+
+### Usage
+```
+./convert.sh [compression] [uups_directory]
+```
+
+###### Compression options:
+ * wim - standard compression
+ * esd - solid compression
+
+### Usage examples
+ * `./convert.sh` - starts conversion using files from UUPs directory and
+   creates ISO image with install.wim
+
+ * `./convert.sh esd` - starts conversion using files from UUPs directory and
+   creates ISO image with install.esd
+
+ * `./convert.sh wim MyUUP` - starts conversion using files from MyUUP
+   directory and creates ISO image with install.wim
+
+### Requirements
+This script uses the following commands to do its work:
+ * cabextract - to extract cabs
+ * wimlib-imagex - to export files from metadata ESD
+ * chntpw - to modify registry of first index boot.wim
+ * genisoimage - to create ISO image
