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.
This is just lazy. The ISO is 4,765,897,728 bytes and the maximum capacity of a DVD-R SL is 4,707,319,808 bytes.
Are you really saying that Microsoft couldn't trim 56 MiB of cruft from the ISO to make it fit?
More like they couldn't be bothered to.

Oh, it's more than just lazy... Stupid, selfish, inconsiderate, insensitive.

I have always found a way to boot from a USB.. You must have it inserted into the computer then in the BIOS Boot Manager you move it to the top of the list.
This is if you have downloaded the proper setup of the ISO.
Have you read all the info in the ISO setup?
.
Also I have Lenovo laptops that do not have CD/DVD installed hardware.
Is this because they do not know how to get to and use the BIOS Boot Manager?
Or Rufus? Personally I have never used Rufus and boot using the Boot Manager quite often.
Also if they have Windows 10 already on their computer they can use File Explorer and open the download and run Setup.
There is no option in BIOS for USB boot. Does not exist. AWOL.
Need clean install after hard drive crash. Rufus too much trouble. The point is to keep bugging and nagging Microsoft. They are just wrong. The media creation tool should do 2-two DVD's automatically if it does not fit on one. How hard can it be to change the tool. Used to be able to do it with Floppies, for crying out loud.
