It took Mircrosoft long enough to figure out the compatibility issue of .ISO files (a.k.a. disk image) which persisted in the older versions of Windows. Previously, users had to download a third-party tool to burn .ISO files to DVDs. Gladly, that issue has now been catered for. The upcoming OS system – Windows 7 – detects and supports .ISO files.

With Windows 7 friendly user interface, you can burn tonnes of .ISO files with ease. Here is what you have to do;

Burn .ISO files in Windows 7

Step #1. Insert a blank CD/DVD into your CD/DVD Writer;

Step #2. Right click on the .ISO file and click on the ‘Burn disc image‘ from the drop down menu;

Step #3. A new pop-up window will now appear, if you have more than one CD/DVD drives, choose the appropriate drive from the list.

Step #4. Hit the ‘Burn‘ button when done.

I wonder was it too hard for Microsoft to think of it in the earlier versions of Windows? Was it?!
