Windows 10 October Update ISO Doesn't Fit on Standard DVD
Hello, everyone. I'm running Windows 10 Professional.
This morning, I updated my system to the October Update. No problems or issues. But I always like to make a copy of bootable media for updates, just in case. I typically prefer to install Windows 10 updates on a clean PC.
Anyway, I downloaded the media creation tool, and chose to create an ISO, which I would then burn to a standard blank DVD.
After it downloaded, I attempted to burn the ISO file, using a freeware program called Burn Aware. Burn Aware said there was not enough space on the blank DVD. It needed roughly 172 MB. That's never happened before.
So, I tried burning the DVD using another burning program, called Any Burn. That didn't work, either. Eventually, I burned the ISO onto a couple of 8GB USB flash drives, using Any Burn. I haven't tested them out yet, but I think they'll work.
I have a few older Update DVD's from this past spring and last fall, just in case the USB drives don't work. I also updated my bootable rescue DVD for Macrium Reflect, and made a new full system backup...just in case.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? I find it very odd and unusual that a blank DVD cannot hold a Windows 10 Update.
Thank you! Jd
