I wonder why there is two 21H2's listed? Typo?

Is there a way to obtain Windows 10 22H2 ISO images that fit on a DVD?

The one I downloaded from Microsoft (en-us, x64) is over 5 GB...

 

Just use dism commands for export image from install.wim edition what you need (ex. professional) then mount and remove some preinstalled apps with dism commands and then will fit on DVD. I just remove more apps and fit on 4.18 GB

 

The image I downloaded with the Media Creation Tool is 4.6GB.

 

Did not try that... (Thanks!)

That should fit, right?

 

Nope; still does not fit..

(English did not; a different language did fit, but I want English)

 

This is my English (United States) ISO file.


You can fit up to 4.7GB on a DVD, so this shouldn't be too big.

 

Your file seems to be for last year’s ISO (21)?

I’m asking for this year’s (22).

 

Mine is 5.11 GiB. (Win11 22H2)
A DVD can hold 4.38 GiB which is 4.7 GB. When Windows reports a GB size, it is actually GiB.

Can I ask why you prefer DVDs over USB flash drives?

 

That is this year's IOS. 22H2 is for Windows 11.

I just saw Brian's post. I didn't realise that there are 22H2 builds for both versions of Windows.

 

I just downloaded the Win10 22H2 ISO from Microsoft. It's 5.69 GiB.

 

Can you not just use an 8GB Dual Layer DVD?

 

My PC is very old (more than 10 years…) and sometimes does not properly boot from USB flash drives.

The Windows 11 ISO does fit indeed, but since my PC is so old it’s not supported by Windows 11…

 

Did not think of that…

The last time I bought one (years ago) they were rather expensive; should check that again.

(I only have a spindle of regular ones available to use whenever needed)

 

they're really cheap now man. that's the easiest method. Otherwise, check this to reduce the size:

XIII,

Are you planning to upgrade your current Win10 or planning to do a fresh Win10 install.

 

Storing a copy in case I screw up my configuration so badly that I need to start from scratch.

(never needed that so far; I do have Reflect images to restore, before this ultimate defeat)

 

I think you are planning an upgrade. No DVD or USB flash drive needed.
