    how to copy files from the CD to the Computer drive

    Hi Hankriegler,

    I would suggest you to follow the steps below:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Click file explorer from the list.

    • Select the CD/DVD drive and hit Enter.

    • Select the files you want to copy from the CD/DVD, then select the drive where you want to paste or save.
    I hope the information is helpful.

    Thank you.

    copy paste not allowed with encrypted video player

    Did you try all of the fixes I gave for copy/paste in Step 3 of my first post?

    Please go back and try every single step in each link, and this time report back the exact results for each step so I know what else to suggest.

    I asked for this two days ago and instead you replied it is another issue. What other issue? Now you're saying the issues is Copy and Paste which is what I gave you every single fix on the web for!

    This is an interactive process. I give steps to perform, you do each one and then report back results until something works, so I know what to suggest next. If you need help performing any step, just ask back. But please do not skip any steps. We often find out the skipped step is the fix.

    If you don't do the work, it will not get fixed.
