Compatibility & Setup

A:AnswerHello there.
Thank you for your question about the GP65NB60. This is an external DVD writer that can read and write CDs and DVDs. However, to load MS Publisher or any software onto a computer without a disc drive, you'll need to ensure that the software you want to install is compatible with your operating system and that you have the necessary installation files.
If you have the MS Publisher installation files on a DVD, the GP65NB60 can read them and allow you to install the software onto your computer. Ensure you have the proper software and drivers installed on your computer to use the external drive effectively.
If you need further assistance or have additional questions, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport.
