Windows 10: Best current burning software ?

Hi all

Just wondering which burning software is best now, been a while since I had to burn any discs, but currently doing thorough backups of important files to various media.

I did previously use both Ashampoo studio & Cyberlink power2go.

Does not have to be freeware, looking to burn to both normal dvd & blu ray discs

Thanks James

 

Burning Files To cdr

I tried to drag a .txt file to the burn list, as suggested above, but it will not drop in. I get a message "+add to burn list" but I cannot get it to drop into the burn list. Is there another step I am missing?
