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.

    Did you go into the BIOS and the Boot Manager and set the USB at the top?

    There is something that can be done and that is Microsoft could tell their customers about all the changes they make instead of hiding all the changes they make.

    Just downloaded MediaCreationTool20H2.exe.

    Created an ISO for both 32 & 64 bit versions. It won't fit on an 8.5 GB DVD-R,

    WTFF?

    It's like they don't understand why it's called bloatware.
