Default I am downloading the Windows 10 ISO (is that all I need)

On WinXP SP3, I used the Firefox browser to download the Windows 10
ISO (64-bit) and am downloading it as we speak.

When I burn the ISO to DVD media using ImgBurn on Windows XP, do
I need to do anything special to make it a bootable DVD?

I'm going to use that ISO to update a Windows 8.1 laptop next
week and a Windows 7 laptop.



MSFT provides for free the Windows 10 Media Creation tool which can
create Win10 installation media in USB/DVD format.

When setup.exe on that USB/DVD media is run from within the qualifying
o/s, the media can be used to upgrade a qualifying o/s (Win7Sp1 or
Win8.0/8.1).

The Win10 media does have to be created consistent with the same vintage
(same language, edition and architecture) as the qualifying o/s....if
not the upgrade installation will fail.
