How can I burn an ISO file to a DVD on Windows 10? The old tools don't exist any more. I need to make a new live Linux disc as my old ones are outdated with the drivers.

The built-in tools do still exist. If "no such option is there," that means someone installed software within that specific Windows 10 configuration that changed the default .iso
file type association. As a result, you don't see the default capabilities to burn an .iso
file to disc like you normally would.
Utilize the following code by pasting it into Notepad, saving it as a .reg
file and merging it with admin privileges to restore your default file type association:

You can also download the same code within a readily available .reg
file from original source below...
(Source: Restore Default File Type Associations in Windows 10)
Once the default .iso
file type association is restored, the accepted answer referenced within the duplicate question should work perfectly.

4Confirmed - 7Zip was associated with .iso. This script restored the default burner. Commented Sep 2, 2018 at 17:20

3Oh my goodness. If 7-Zip is associated, then disassociate for all users it by running it as Administrator, which reverts it to Windows Explorer, or associate with Windows Explorer for yourself through the standard UI tools. There's no need for registry hacking.– RichCommented Apr 3, 2019 at 20:43

3@Rich While I appreciate your feedback, I think that labeling the proposed solution "registry hacking" is probably a bit too harsh. It is a method that has been tested at great length, it comes from a very prominent source (Shawn Brink's website), and it works quite well. Also, you will notice from previous comments that the OP didn't mention anything about 7-Zip, and Guy Gordon isn't the OP. While your suggestion will work perfectly for 7-Zip, restoring the default values with a
.reg
file will work for any application that inadvertently took control of the.iso
file type association.– Run5kCommented Apr 3, 2019 at 21:51 -
1All good points. @GuyGordon see my advice to you in the previous comment that I'm getting flamed about.– RichCommented Apr 4, 2019 at 20:11

1@Rich I wasn't trying to "flame" you in any way, and I certainly apologize if the message conveyed in that manner. I was simply explaining the logic behind my origiinal answer while trying to emphasize that labeling it "registry hacking" and down-voting it seems to be rather harsh treatment for a solution that repeatedly proven to be reliable.– Run5kCommented Apr 4, 2019 at 21:04
In windows 10 you can simply right click an iso and select to burn it to a disk.
- Insert a blank CD or DVD in your writable optical drive.
- Right-click on the ISO file and select "Burn disk image."
- Select "Verify disc after burning" to make sure the ISO was burned without any errors.
- Click Burn

1I had a program that associated the .iso to itself. To have the above actions work, I right-clicked and chose "Open with" and then selected "Windows Explorer". I was then able to run the above instructions. No registry hack needed.– mmv_satCommented Jun 16, 2020 at 15:46
PowerISO will do that job greatly for you, that's if you will not want to use the default windows burner. You can get a more detailed steps on Burning an iso file on DVD using windows 10 using PowerISO
Or
You can follow the steps on How to Burn ISO Files to DVD which is default for windows.
I hope this helps.

This just puts the iso file on the disc, seemingly in an iso container. Not really what I was going for with making a live boot disc.– LumifyCommented Jan 1, 2018 at 14:36

what exactly do you mean by making a live boot disc? I thought you wanna create a bootable disk? Commented Jan 1, 2018 at 18:11
