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.

    It is much simpler to use a USB stick.  I do this as a lot of my newer laptops no longer come with CD/DVD drive installed.  Also they take up less room to store.

    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.

    Guest what:

    1 Week later I received in South Africa the Recoverable DVD Set from HP for a HP-Prodesk 600-G1.

    The Hard Drive had to be replaced (faulty after 10 years)

    I now installed on a fast SSD - Amazing Speed difference.

    Lucky the costs were on HP / DHL

    Thank you HP for honoring your Support Policy.
