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.

    Here's how you can create your own 2x DVD 20H2 64Bit media.

    Mount your 64 Bit 20H2 ISO.

    Create a Folder for you DVD1 files I'll use C:\20H2DVD1 copy these folders/files from the mounted ISO

    boot

    efi

    autorun.inf

    bootmgr

    bootmgr.efi

    setup.exe

    sources\boot.wim      <--- Just the one file from sources folder

    We'll need need to download Windows ADK to get oscdimg.exe.

    Download and install the Windows ADK | Microsoft Docs

    We only need the Deployment Tools

    To create the ISO C:\20H2DVD1.ISO run this command

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\oscdimg.exe" -l20H2DVD1 -m -o -u2 -udfver102 -bootdata:2#p0,e,b"C:\20H2DVD1\boot\etfsboot.com"#pEF,e,b"C:\20H2DVD1\efi\microsoft\boot\efisys.bin" "C:\20H2DVD1" "C:\20H2DVD1.ISO"

    For C:\20H2DVD2 folder copy the entire contents of the mounted ISO and delete C:\20H2DVD2\Sources\boot.wim

    To create the ISO C:\20H2DVD2.ISO run this command

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Assessment and Deployment Kit\Deployment Tools\amd64\Oscdimg\oscdimg.exe"  -l20H2DVD2 -m -o -u2 -udfver102 "C:\20H2DVD2" "C:\20H2DVD2.ISO"

    Burn both discs. Technically the 1st ISO is 420 MB you could use a CD. I've tried 2x DVD and it works.

    Boot the 1st CD/DVD (20H2DVD1) to where it asks for the language selection. Eject the 1st CD/DVD (20H2DVD1) and insert the 2nd DVD (20H2DVD2).

    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
