    Dalchina is right, you need to add punctuation to your questions.

    GPT or MBR is not a partition thing, it is a ssd or hard drive thing, meaning the entire drive is MBR or GPT.

    For example, my OS drive is MBR and my storage drives are GPT.

    That`s the way I want them setup

    Hi,
    Been an issue lately ms keeps adding more bloat to 10 than before but are you creating an all versions iso rather than a spastic 10 home or 10 pro iso ?
    I usually use dvd and a all versions iso no longer fits it either but a 10 pro iso will.

    I read you were going to delete everything anyway is why I posted the way I did prior

    Hi,
    I usually just use the windows to burn to dvd with media creation tool on it's options or simply right click the iso after creation tool and select burn.
    1903 fit dvd last I used it not too long ago.

    I do not have dual layer dvd's or burner.

    Where did you get your ISO from? If you downloaded the ISO directly from Microsoft (or other sources) then it will very likely contain an install.wim in its Sources folder. This is often larger than the 4GB limit for Fat32. If you use the Media Creation Tool to make the ISO (or make a USB) it will contain an install.esd instead of an install.wim. An esd is more compressed than a wim, Microsoft make sure that an ISO made by the MCT will fit on a Fat32 USB. It should also fit on a single-layer DVD. See Option One...

    Yes, that's true. The 1809 MCT will make a the latest available version, 1903 at present. However, the 1903 ISO it makes contains a 3.27GB install.esd which means the 1903 ISO can be used to make a Fat32 USB.

    If you want an 1809 ISO you cannot make one with the MCT, you can however download one from Microsoft using Option Three from the tutorial. That however will have an install.wim, probably larger than 4GB.
