    Although most software is able to be downloaded, my printer came with a CD with the software and drivers. I connected it to mt 2 in 1 laptop and it loaded and installed the software quickly and correctly the first time!

    This External DVD player is lightweight and easy to use. I just plugged it into my laptop and waited for it to load my dvd and then I hit play. One time there seemed to be a lag time like it was not reading the DVD yet smooth sailing since. I am glad I discovered this portable device.

    If your PC for some reason does not offer an optical drive, I highly recommend this USB Slim DVD Drive from Dell. It reads, it writes, it slices, it dices, okay maybe not the last two. Anyway, be sure to check it out at your local Best Buy and pick one up for your PC related needs.

    I jumped from my tower with CD/DVD drive to a WIN11 mini with NO periferals. The USB CD/DVD drive lets me read, write and continue to archive my music and data.

    This reader/writer is a great addition for your modern laptop that does not come with one native. It ultra thin and lightweight to store with you. Do a comparison on the specs, its the best one on the market.
