    This DVD external drive is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH WINDOWS 11 . If you try to operate this drive with the included Cyberlink disc as the driver - it will not work! Had to pay another $40 in addition to the $40 drive price for a total of $80 to get up and running. Geek squad had to use the VLC media player to get it to work.
