    Easy to use plug and play. Needed to download the disc for my new printer. The online install failed to work because it keep interrupting the internet. This was the same price as purchasing help, but is a better value since I can use it whenever it is needed (like games on disc).

    I bought this external Dell USB DVD/CD Player/Writer to attach to a new Dell Windows 10 laptop without an internal DVD/CD drive. It was easy to setup on the laptop being recognized automatically and installed by Windows 10. The external drive worked as in the product description. It operates quietly and efficiently. I am pleased with my purchase of this device.

    A good device, truly plug and play. The included software works as stated, I'm sure the upgraded versions would be even more versatile. All-in-all I'm happy and would recomend this.
