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.

    I have HP Media Center m9252p. This work station was working fine it was upgraded from Vista, to 7 to 8.1 and 10. 

    Last week new 10 upgrade crashed and forced me to go back to factory image.

    Now i have Vista on the machine, usb is not a boot option, update cannot be downloaded directly from Microsoft site and new windows 10 iso doesn't fits in DVD. 

    Does any one have any recommendations to restore my computer with windows 10

    Even older Windows 10 or Windows 8.1 that fites in one DVD would do the job.

    I have older windows 10 DVDs, but don't know how to get send to you.
