Question about Iso file

[Fiendmummy]

I want to know how to move a 12 GB iso file from my online mini-laptop, to my offline desktop with ease. I'd like to know if I could break it down into a bunch of smaller files and then bring it back up into one whole one again if possible, to allow easier movement with my puny 8GB flash drive.
Help, please?

(Take note, the iso is a game.)

Probably easier to use a bigger usb flashdrive. You might be able to use TeamViewer
if you can put the offline pc online.

You can use an archive utility to create a zip file and span it. That is, break it up into several smaller pieces (like below 8 GB) and then reassemble it into the first zip file and unzip it.

If you don't already have one, you can find a freeware zip utility in TechSpot's download section. Here is one: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/757-7-zip.html. Here is another: https://www.techspot.com/downloads/1207-zipgenius.html

I've never had occasion to use them but there also file splitting freeware tools available like HJ-Split

Your 8GB flash drive also needs to be formatted to NTFS to use >1GB files.

It's actually a 4GB file size limit in general for FAT32.

Yeah, that's the one.

Spare ethernet lead and a switch/modem router?

Install WinRAR, compress the file and when you do you can select a file size where to split it...so you could for example set the split at 7.5Gb, then you will get 2 files that you have to move over and unpack on the offline computer... Job Done

7-zip is free and will do it. Install 7-zip (don't think winrar is free) and then right click on the file and 'add to archive', set the compression to none or archive whatever the one that doesn't compress is (not on a Windows machine now or I'd check) and choose the file size. I think there is a pulldown, but you can also manually enter a size.

Install 7-zip on destination machine, and undo what you did.

It's free

Winrar must be paid for after a 30/40 day trial if I remember correctly. It will remind you to pay, but will lose no functionality.

Morally the choice is yours
