How to download a windows 10 iso that fits onto a single layer DVD-R /RW

 I use a dvd-rw to store the latest image of windows 10.

In the recent update the size of the iso file was too big to fit on a single layer disk and the recommendation was to write to dual layer.


However dual layer dvd-rw doesn't exist and I don't want to create more waste.


So here's the method I used ...





Rufus download method...

I used the option to download via browser.

Direct download link analysis:



July 2020 build (4.9GB - may just fit!)

October 2020 build windows 10 International English
Verdict: too large for DVD-R/W
