    Normally, your download is in your Downloads-folder.

    • Path: C:\Users\yourUsername\Downloads

    If the iso-file isn't there, search in the search-bar the file.

    1. Click on the Windows-Button on the lower-left.
    2. Now write in the search-field for ubuntu.
    3. Now you should see the file.
    4. Rightclick on it and open the path.

    Then, you can follow these easy steps:

    1. Insert a recordable CD, DVD, or Blu‑ray Disc into your disc burner.

    2. Open Computer by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Computer.

    3. In Windows Explorer, find the disc image file, and then double-click it.

    4. If you have more than one disc burner, from the Disc burner list in Windows Disc Image Burner, click the burner that you want to use.

    5. (Optional) If you want to verify that the disc image was burned correctly to the disc, select the Verify disc after burning check box.

    6. If the integrity of disc image file is critical (for example, the disc image file contains a firmware update), you should select this check box.

    7. Click Burn to burn the disc.

    The disk image is probably in your Downloads folder. Many web browsers (like Firefox) will download to there by default.

    I have an ISO image downloaded from MSDN (Expression Studio 4) that is listed as for a DVD. The image is only 284MB. Can I burn this to a CD instead, using the software built in to Windows 7, or will something in the file format tie it to a dvd?

    If you just double click the ISO file (*), it should open with Windows Disk Image Burner, this utility will allow you to burn the ISO file to external media.

    (*) If you have installed any ISO handling utilities, right click and choose Open With then select Windows Disk Image Burner.

    Personally though, I like use Imgburn (available on Ninite) for burning.

    Anyway, whatever you use, if the actual ISO file is under 700MB, you should have no problem burning to a disk.

    Lastly, if it is for the machine you are on, consider using a disk mounting program such as Slysoft Virtual Clonedrive - it both saves disks and is much faster!
