A:AnswerYes, it can be connected to a Chromebook, but compatibility depends on what you want to do with it. What Works:
Reading data discs (like PDFs, images, or files stored on CD/DVD).
Playing media for ChromeOS (must be installed separately).
Plug-and-play connection via USB 2.0 — no drivers needed.
What is not compatible for:
Burning discs — ChromeOS does not support disc writing natively.
Auto-play of DVDs/CDs — ChromeOS lacks built-in media playback software.
Running bundled software (like CyberLink Media Suite) — it's Windows-only.
A:AnswerYes, the Dell DW316 8x Slim External USB DVDRW/CD-RW Drive is compatible with the Surface Pro 7, provided you meet the following conditions: USB Port: The DW316 uses USB 2.0, and the Surface Pro 7 has USB-A and USB-C ports, so you can connect it directly or via a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
Operating System: The DW316 supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, and the Surface Pro 7 runs either of these OS versions.
Plug and Play: No additional drivers are needed. It’s a plug-and-play device, so it should work immediately once connected
