I am downloading the Windows 10 ISO (is that all I need)
ceg wrote on 08/18/2015 11:34 PM:
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. -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |

Burning the ISO with ImgBurn will create a bootable DVD okay. -- Brian Gregory (in the UK). To email me please remove all the letter vee from my email address. |
