A:AnswerThe physical software disc included in the box with the LG 8x External USB 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Disc Rewriter - Black, Model # BP50NB40, is not designed for Windows 11. The installation disc typically contains older versions of CyberLink software intended for Windows 10 or earlier, which may not install or function properly on Windows 11.
However, the drive itself is a Plug and Play device that is fully compatible with Windows 11.
Windows 11 will automatically recognize the device as a CD/DVD/Blu-ray reader/writer when you plug it in...^Ivan.
A:AnswerHi there. Thank you for your inquiry about the LG BP50NB40. We understand your question about the cable and your suggestion for a longer one. The included cable for the BP50NB40 is a USB 2.0 cable with a Micro-B connector on the drive end. The use of a standard extension cable may work, but we cannot guarantee proper functionality.
