Just a copy of the files will not boot. It has to be written to the disk as a bootable “ISO image”. Do you have 7 or 10?

I have Windows 10.

But what went wrong during the download process? I put a fresh DVD into my disk tray and clicked on one of the US download sites.

A window popped up asking whether I want to open the file or save it. I chose save, thinking it would copy the files to the disk, but it saved them to my computer instead.

What did I do wrong?

You are good, that is what you want! always download into the PC first, because the PC has the tool to create the ISO image disk for you. Have you written to the disk yet? If so delete what you have on the disk. and I will give you the process from there.

nothjing went wrong with the download- that’s how to do it- then just right click on it and choose ‘burn disk image’ that should burn the iso correctly-
