How to upload a CD/DVD to a Microsoft OS Computer using an External ODD & HDD Device

It’s a long title, but relatively simple, trust me!

First, ensure your device is plugged in to your computer. There should be a little light that comes on when you plug it in.

Second, create the location you want to copy the CD/DVD onto on your device. If you do not know where to put it, continue reading this section.

Click on “Downloads.” Right Click and press “Create Folder.” For now, title it “DVD Downloads” followed by today’s date. Rename at your peer/boss’s instruction. To rename, simply right click on a file, and press “rename.”

Third, press the button on your external ODD & HDD device. The tray should then pop outwards.

Follow that by placing your CD/DVD into the tray, with the design of the object facing upwards, and the holographic side facing down.

THIS IS IMPORTANT!: Ensure your CD/DVD is clicked into the middle bit of the tray. If you close it and the device starts beeping at you, you did it wrong.

Fourth, navigate back to your device. If you go to the area below your pins, under “This PC” and whatnot of the side navigation, you should see a CD icon appear. That is where your data is being put!

Now go brew some coffee, take a minute to let your information upload to the system.

Once it is done, the external device’s fan should turn off, and the light will turn off (though it might not stay off forever given power is running to it).
