Thank you for your interest in the LG Slim Portable DVD Writer (SP80NB80) model. The LG SP80NB80 external DVD drive should work with Windows 11. If you're having trouble playing DVD movies on your LENOVO YOGA AIO7, try these simple steps:

1. Update Driver and Firmware: Make sure the LG SP80NB80's drivers and firmware are up to date. You can find the latest software drivers on LG's official website.

2. Media Player Software: Install a compatible media player like VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player on your LENOVO YOGA AIO7.

3. Check the DVD: Ensure the DVDs you're trying to play aren't damaged or scratched. Test different DVDs to see if the issue persists.

4. Analog Protection System (APS): Some DVDs may have Analog Protection System, which prevents them from playing on external devices. If this is the case, it's an issue with the DVDs, not the drive.
