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.

    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.

    There is something that can be done.

    Microsoft lacks the Ability or Willingness.

    See what Linux guys are doing, Multiple Sets...

    Check Debian...

    So you are telling me that Acer, Dell, HP are going to ship me a USB Drive when I ask for Recovery Media?

    OEM are in Sets. Installation and separate DVD for Drivers.

    Put some pressure on Microsoft.

    BTW: Image 1909 does fit on Single DVD

    20H2 takes large a space, I recommend you to install it into a CD/DVD larger than 28GB. After it installs in your PC, run Disk Cleanup utility to get 20GB+ free in your disk.
