How to install Windows 8 Release Preview from an ISO image
The easiest way to convert an ISO file to a DVD in Windows 7 is to use Windows Disc Image Burner. On a PC running Windows XP or Windows Vista,
a third-party program is required to convert an ISO file into
installable media—and DVD burning software often includes this
capability. One option is the USB/DVD download tool provided by the Microsoft Store.
