  1. Burn a Disc: How do you want to use this disc? Like a USB flash drive or With a CD/DVD player?


    When saving files to a disc, I was presented with the question: "How do you want to use this disk?


    Options were:
    - Like a USB flash drive

    - With a CD/DVD player


    Below was a link: Which one should I chose?


    I clicked the link which connected me to:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/hub/4338813/windows-help?os=windows-10which is a general Windows Help screen.

    Am I foolish to expect that the link would lead me to the answer to a question that Windows 10 itself asked?

    I wasted 15 minutes trying to search for an answer, with no luck.

    Does Windows/Microsoft provide no support or service at all, even for their own questions?

    :)

    Hi Jimmy,

    We suggest that you use Windows Media Player to burn the images. Please follow the steps below:

    • Open Windows Media Player.
    • In the Player Library > Burn tab > select
      Burn options
      .
    • Choose Audio CD or Data CD or DVD.
    • Insert a blank disc into your CD or DVD burner. (Select the drive you want to use if your PC has more than one CD or DVD drive)
    • Search for the items in your Player Library that you want to burn to the disc, and then drag them to the list pane (on the right side of the Player Library) to create a burn list.
    • When you're finished with the list, select Start burn.
    Note: If necessary, click the Clear list button to remove all items from the previous burn list.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Hi Dwayne,

    When you copy music, pictures, and videos from your PC to a blank CD or DVD, it's called "burning." Burning files to a disc in Windows is a method that allows end-users to have a replica of their important files. To assist you with
    your concern, we recommend that you follow these steps on how to save files to a disc or DVD. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Insert a blank DVD into the optical drive and close the drive.
    • Open File Explorer, then double-click the drive icon to open the
      Burn a Disc window.
    • Type a title for your disc, then select Like a USB flash drive or
      With a CD/DVD player, depending on how you want to use the disc.

    • Drag files to this folder to add them to the disc message displays.
    • Navigate to the files, select them, then drag them to the drive icon.
    • The files display in a Files Ready to Be Written to the disc window.
