    Windows ISO file too large to burn


    I just downloaded a Media Creation Tool. I then downloaded Windows ISO file. When I try to burn the ISO file to a DVD it says the file is too large to burn. New DVD never used.
    The version is 20H2.size is 4,784,256 KB
    The laptop that the file was downloaded to has Windows 10 Pro 20h2 build 19042.572
    the reason I am trying to use a DVD instead of a USB stick is that when installing from a stick it shuts off WIFI on two other machines and I cannot figure what is causing that.

    You`d need to use a double layer DVD, simpler to just use a 8 GB USB stick.

    You just don`t use those PC`s when installing windows, it doesn`t take long.

    It might be best to do it without using the Media Creation Tool if possible . . .

    Thank you for the response. I don't recall the question about pc. I will download again and see what was asked.
    The actual pc that I will be installing on is in for a new hard drive.

    If the new computer has a blank/clean drive/no OS I always get the "use on a different computer".

    I did choose that option but the downloaded file was still the same size. Will try using another site to download from.

    Win 10 Ver 2010 (20h2) iso file is big and don't fit on a single side DVD, don't matter where you downloaded. Using MCT it will be 4.7G and that is the smallest as it has sources\install.esd that is a high compacted file. If you download from other sources (like heidoc.net) that has Install.wim it can be much bigger.
    DVD must be DL or use a 8G USB drive.
