Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 iso file too large for DVD!

I downloaded the media creation tool for 20H2 Windows 10 version. Requested 64 bit version ONLY.

ISO file is over 4.7GB, does not fit on DVD. What should I do? I DO NOT want to mess with dual layer,

blue ray, or flash drives. Never had this problem before, seems like a glitch in the tool perhaps,

it does not compress the file properly?

Finding .IMG or .ISO file in Windows 8.1 Pro download

Hey guys,

In preparation for my new PC I downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro from Dreamspark, and I wanted to burn it to a DVD, so I can install it on the new PC.
However, in the downloaded files I can't find a .IMG or .ISO file anywhere. I understood that the .IMG file is the one you need to burn to the DVD?

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

 

iso file too large for DVD

Downloaded the ISO file (5.75 GB) and tried to burn it to DVD (7 GB). Tried with two different machines. Both tell me the file is too large for the DVD.

Tried to boot to a flash drive and it will not boot in the computer requiring repairs from "inaccessible_boot_device".

Can someone help?

Thanks

 

Windows 10 Pro iso file too large

@AddRAM
a 4.7GB DVD actually shows up as 4.37GB while the new ISO file is 4.42GB. If you test your DVD, it might not work

@NavyLCDR
I think you have an old ISO which only contains Pro & Home. The current MCT version contains 4 versions: Pro, Home, Single and Education hence the file size is 4.42GB.



@nkoss,
In order to fit the bootable ISO into a 4.7 DVD, you will have to export only the version that you need which will reduce to ~3.5GB
Here's how to create Windows 10 Pro X64. If you want Home, then use SourceIndex:2

1. copy install.esd from the ISO to desktop
2. Open command prompt and run:
   dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"install.esd" /SourceIndex:1/DestinationImageFile:"Newinstall.esd" /Compress:recovery
3. a "Newinstall.esd" is created. Replace this file to the ISO, rename it to: install.esd
4. Burn DVD.
