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.

    Down load it and open it in File Explorer go to Setup and double click.  Follow the instructions.

    Hi, I found an ISO that will fit a regular DVD, you can download it at

    https://blumoo.com/windows-10-pro-iso/  Once installed you will then receive updates from Microsoft to this version until it is up to speed with Microsoft. Of course there's no guarantees that the Lockscreen problem will not resurface once the updates occur. Good luck.

    No formatting unless prompted by your system to do so.  The new install should overwrite your current version.
