How can I burn an ISO file to a DVD on Windows 10? The old tools don't exist any more. I need to make a new live Linux disc as my old ones are outdated with the drivers.


Solution 1:

The built-in tools do still exist. If "no such option is there," that means someone installed software within that specific Windows 10 configuration that changed the default .iso file type association. As a result, you don't see the default capabilities to burn an .iso file to disc like you normally would.

Utilize the following code by pasting it into Notepad, saving it as a .reg file and merging it with admin privileges to restore your default file type association:

You can also download the same code within a readily available .reg file from original source below...

Once the default .iso file type association is restored, the accepted answer referenced within the duplicate question should work perfectly.

Solution 2:

In windows 10 you can simply right click an iso and select to burn it to a disk.

  1. Insert a blank CD or DVD in your writable optical drive.
  2. Right-click on the ISO file and select "Burn disk image."
  3. Select "Verify disc after burning" to make sure the ISO was burned without any errors.
  4. Click Burn

Solution 3:

PowerISO will do that job greatly for you, that's if you will not want to use the default windows burner. You can get a more detailed steps on Burning an iso file on DVD using windows 10 using PowerISO

Or

You can follow the steps on How to Burn ISO Files to DVD which is default for windows.

I hope this helps.
