Win 10 Installation Media

Folks,
Just downloaded Win 10 Installation Media for a re-install. Size of the .iso is 4.47 GB (4,810,539,008 bytes). Tried to burn it to a DVD-R, stated size of 4.7 GB, but the burning program says the program is too large to fit on a single disc and stops.
I'm stumped.

 

Actual storage is 4.3GB on a DVD-R. Check out https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...-for-dvd/4370001c-8b3f-434f-8fdb-854fd555e32d

If you have USB, download Ventoy,install it to the USB key, then copy the ISO to the USB, it is very easy.

 

I did it by downloading the windows 10 iso and burn it to usb key by using the software rufus

 

Get a USB 3.0 stick big enough to hold a windows install.I would at lease get one that is 16 or 32 gigs in size.I use Rufus https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/rufus.html to make a windows usb stick is quicker than CD-ROM.There are multiple videos on how to use it correctly.

 

Thanks for the info. Never heard of Ventoy. I'll give it a try this afternoon. Thanks again.

 

Ventoy worked great. I was able to recover a friend's old computer (Win7) from the Desktop Ransomware virus and upgrade him to Win 10 Home due to your help. Many thanks.

 

Welcome.
