What do you do with an ISO file once youve downloaded it An ISO file is an image of a disc, like a DVD, so in most cases, to use it, you first need to burn it to either a USB drive or a disc.

Properly burning an ISO image file to a DVD is a bit different than just burning the ISO file itself as you would any other file, and its entirely different than simply copying the ISO file to the disc.

Fortunately, newer versions of Windows include a built-in ISO burner tool (explained below) that makes this very easy.

However, if youre using an older version of Windows, or would prefer a dedicated tool, check out the second set of directions below those.

Skip down to the next section if you need instructions that apply to an older version of Windows.

As long as your optical drive supports it, this disc can be a blank DVD, CD, or BD.

For example, if the ISO file youre using is only 125 MB, dont use a DVD or BD if you have a less expensive empty CD available.

Right-click or tap-and-hold the ISO file and then choose Burn disc image to open the Windows Disc Image Burner window.

If youre using Windows 7, you can just double-click the ISO file.

Double-clicking or double-tapping an ISO in Windows 10 or Windows 8 will mount the file as a virtual disc.

Pick the correct CD, DVD, or BD burner from the Disc burner: drop down menu.

The amount of time it takes to burn an ISO file depends both on the size of the ISO file and the speed of your disc burner, so it could take anywhere from several seconds, to several minutes, to complete.

You can optionally check the box next to Verify disc after burning before you burn the ISO image.

This is useful if the integrity of the data is important, like if youre burning firmware to the disc.

Theres a good explanation of what that means over at How-To-Geek.

When the burning is complete, the disc will eject from the disc drive and the Status description will say The disc image has been successfully burned to disc.
