How to Burn CD/DVD on Windows 10 PC – Guide
If you’re new to Windows 10 and haven’t burned files to a disc before, take a look at how to do it. Over the years, the demise of the optical drive has been largely exaggerated. They are still on many low-end PCs. The same can be said of mid-range and even high-end devices. A new 8GB flash drive suddenly stopped working and I was in trouble. I needed to move some huge video files from one machine to another. I found an unused CD-R that came with my 2001 Plextor CD-Writer when I had no other choice. I was in trouble, and optical media came to my rescue.
Burn and edit files on a CD-R using Windows 10
To burn a DVD-R or CD-R disc as a USB flash drive:
- Choose the “As a USB flash drive” option on the burning wizard’s screen.
- Enter the name of the disc you want to burn as a USB drive and click OK.
When you insert the disk, it will prepare itself for use.
Browse for any files you would like to add to the disc, click Start > File Explorer > This PC and open the drive that contains your DVD-R or CD-R. Then drag and drop the files you want to burn onto the disc.
When finished, click the Manage tab and then click Eject. Now you can manipulate and edit your files as you would on a standard USB flash drive. I’ll admit it’s a little slow when writing, but it’s just as effective and works in a pinch.
A trip down memory lane can be a useful tool if you need to. For example, if you need to remember a time when you were really helpful to someone, or if you want to remember a moment in your life that was particularly memorable.
