  1. What is an ISO File? is a single file that's a perfect representation of an entire CD, DVD, or BD. The entire contents of a disc can be precisely duplicated in a single ISO file.

  2. How do you write an ISO file to a CD, DVD, or removable media (like a thumb drive)? The most common way to make use of an ISO file is to burn it to a CD, DVD, or BD disc. This is a different process than burning music or document files to a disc because your CD/DVD/BD burning software must "assemble" the contents of the ISO file onto the disc. Windows 11, 10, 8, and 7 can all burn ISO images to a disc without using any third-party software—just double-tap or double-click the ISO file and then follow the wizard that appears

  3. How do you create an ISO file? Several programs, many of them free, let you create your own ISO file from a disc or a collection of files you've chosen. The most common reason to build an ISO image is if you're interested in backing up a software installation disc or even a DVD or Blu-ray movie.

  4. How do you mount an ISO file?Mounting an ISO file is usually as simple as opening the file with something called a "disc emulator" and then choosing a drive letter that the ISO file should represent. Even though this drive letter is a virtual drive, Windows sees it as a real one, and you can use it as such, too.
