Latest Windows 10 iso file too large for DVD!

Anonymous

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?

This one works! Just burned it to DVD. So, this should resolve all the media format woes posted here? :)

Be sure to choose the second option to create media installation, unless you want to update directly.

    Hi

    If I were in your shoes, and the target pc has a valid Windows 7 license, I would first re-install Windows 7 on the new HD, and then copy the downloaded W10 sp20H2 iso file to that local drive, mount it, and run the setup.exe.

    Seems a bit tiring but it will get the pc back to W10 x64 sp20H2.

    For the record, I too wish the current sp20H2 iso was leaned off abit from "unnecessaries" to be able to fit on a std dvd.

    Somebody definitely dropped the ball here.

    take care

    B

    Glad you got this worked out-I'm having the same issue. In case someone else stumbles on this, note that 20H2 32 bit version does fit onto a normal DVD.

    No, it's not worked out. I need the 64 bit version on ONE DVD without any muss and fuss.

    Yes, I did reply...

    Download Image 1909, it does fit on a Single DVD.

    After installation then Download Image 20H2 to Storage Device.

    Then Update.

    I normally disconnect my PC from Internet as it Waste a lot of TIME Checking for Updates.

    Microsoft Clever Developers should know that Everyone does not have Internet All the Time.

    Use Mobile Hotspot to Activate Installation.
