.ISO File Help.......DVD Burner not working

[RunDougRun]

Hello Forum:
I have a question regarding .ISO files....

My DVD Burner has tanked and I installed windows 10 using a program called “Rufus” and making a bootable file from that .ISO file…..I did this using the “Widows Media Creator”

Will this also work if I wanted to install a program from an .ISO??? Will it work the same way? Is it essentially the same? Or does this method only work for boot type files???

Am I making sense?
Or will I need to purchase a new DVR Burner (To actually Burn the .ISO and then install)

Are you talking about installing Windows 10 after you made the DVD but your DVD drive is broken?

Or is this something completely unrelated?

There are programs that will extract the files from an ISO, and allow you to put them on a USB drive. look at http://www.isotousb.com/

Some ISOs are bootable, some not. For bootable, rufus etc are the way to go. You could try Daemon Tools for everything else.

I guess unrelated lol....
I used this process to install windows, so I guess my logic (probably flawed) thought it could work for any .ISO file to install programs using the Rufus program/USB Drive

How complicated does this become? Or is it pretty straight forward?

Operating System ISOs are generally always bootable. Linux, Windows etc. Programs, no point in having them bootable. Use Daemon tools or similar for those.
