Q: QuestionWill this system work with Windows 11
Asked by ronnie.
- A:Answer Hello there, Ronnie. We understand your inquiry regarding the LG Super Multi Portable DVD Rewriter (Model GP60NB50) and whether it will work with Windows 11. Although the official specifications list compatibility up through Windows 10, many customers have successfully used this drive on Windows 11 systems by relying on Windows’ built-in USB mass storage drivers. To ensure the best possible performance: Use Windows Update: Once you connect the GP60NB50 via USB 2.0 to your Windows 11 PC, allow Windows Update to automatically locate and install the most up-to-date generic CD/DVD driver. This step often enables the drive to function immediately without needing additional manual driver installation. Verify Device Recognition: After attaching the drive, open Device Manager (on Windows 11, press Win+X and select Device Manager). You should see “LG DVD Writer” (or similar) listed under “DVD/CD-ROM drives.” If you see a yellow warning icon, proceed to right-click the device and choose “Update driver” → “Search automatically for drivers.” If you require step-by-step assistance with downloading firmware, updating drivers, or troubleshooting any recognition issues on Windows 11, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. We understand your inquiry and want to ensure your GP60NB50 operates flawlessly on your system. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-24x-write-24x-rewrite-24x-read-cd-8x-write-dvd-external-usb-2-0-dvd-writer-drive-multi/1970008.p?skuId=1970008 Thank you for choosing LG, and we look forward to helping you further. —Renzo

Q: QuestionCan I burn songs from Spotify or Youtube?
Asked by Mjonesss99.
- A:Answer Hi there, thank you for your question! The LG GP60NB50 External DVD Drive allows you to burn CDs and DVDs, but you cannot burn songs directly from platforms like Spotify or YouTube due to copyright restrictions. These services are streaming platforms, and the content you access is not meant to be downloaded or redistributed unless explicitly permitted by the platform. To create audio CDs, you would need songs that you legally own or have downloaded with proper permissions. Once you have the files, you can use compatible software to burn them onto a disc with the GP60NB50. https://www.lg.com/us/burners-drives/lg-gp60nb50-external-dvd-drive#pdp_specs If you have additional questions or need guidance, feel free to contact us on social media @LGUSSupport, and we’d be happy to assist further!

Q: QuestionNot compatible with Windows 11? Came preinstalled on the machine I bought from you last month. Answers are inconsistent
Asked by PK.
- A:Answer Hello there, PK! Thank you for reaching out regarding the GP60NB50’s compatibility. While the GP60NB50 is officially supported on Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Mac OS X.The GP60NB50 external optical drive is designed to work with computers equipped with a USB 2.0-compliant connector or PCI adapter card, and it requires the USB 2.0 EHCI (Enhanced Host Controller Interface) driver software for optimal performance. This driver software is generally included with USB 2.0-compliant PCI adapter cards and is also available through Microsoft for Windows XP SP3. Since Windows 11 may not natively support this older USB 2.0 EHCI driver, compatibility could vary. For further assistance, we recommend reaching out to your PC manufacturer, USB 2.0 adapter dealer, or consulting the Microsoft website to verify driver availability for newer operating systems.
