Windows 10: Unable to burn CD's in Windows 10

When I insert a blank CD-R to burn a music file Windows 10 does not recognize the blank disc. There is no "Local Drive (D)" icon that appears under the Play Burn Sync tabs either. I'm not technical so I'm not sure if that makes any difference. The "Start burn" tab doesn't highlight either. I just upgraded to windows 10 from Windows 7. I'm at a total loss here. Please help. Thank you.

Burning photos to a CD Disc

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.
