what a nice stuff, Ms. Fatima.. I don’t find any bad postings/comments on your review.
well, I have a pile of clarifying questions here about this OS because I never used win8.1 pro before. Can I use all of the win8.1 pro features after installing it? Is the installation the final step or is there any following step to use this OS completely?
Please forgive my curiousness, Ms. Fatima. I just want to ensure that I can use it completely. Thank you, Ms. - #84 written by Nanda S 11 years ago

Well sorry you have selected wrong ISO of such big size of 5.56GB, sorry to say neither it will fit on DVD nor on USB in a bootable form. What you need to do is just to again download ISO within range of 4GB. In that case you would be able to store it on any media like USB or DVD.
As you already know that you have once installed Windows from USB so I have a question why you have downloaded such big size ISO? Is there any particular logic?
In my opinion never such big size ISO ever because these are totally wastage of all storage and time resources, however if you are interested in downloading then ISO within 4GB range would be best choice for any medium of installation. If you have any question you can ask.
