Nope! Literally, plug and play.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there, KanKan. We understand your inquiry regarding the LG SP80NB80 external DVD±RW/CD-RW drive and whether it’s compatible with Windows 11. The SP80NB80 is officially supported on Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, but many customers have successfully used it on Windows 11 without additional purchases. Troubleshooting Step: Please connect the SP80NB80 to a USB 3.0 port on your PC, then open Device Manager and locate the drive under “DVD/CD-ROM drives.” Right-click the device, choose Update driver, and let Windows search automatically for the latest driver. This ensures optimal performance and compatibility. If Windows doesn’t find a driver, you can download the Windows 10 driver package from the LG Support website and install it manually—Windows 11 will accept this driver. You won’t need any extra hardware—just the included USB cable. If your PC only has USB-C ports, use a USB-C to USB-A adapter to connect the drive. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/5852919.p?skuId=5852919 If you run into any further questions or need assistance with driver installation, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport, and our team will be more than happy to explore possible solutions with you.
