Can't burn DVDs

Not in the short term, but if your W10 is not working properly and you plug it in - it may not work at all.
Hence my recommendations above.

So, do you think even an external DVD drive may not work if I don't fix the internal one (and if I did that I wouldn't need the external one, of course)?

I can read it in the Edge browser, or using Acrobat Reader DC.

Please...

Get your data off the system, etc. and do the clean install. Still a good laptop at this point.

Clean Install Windows 10

Thanks.

I just did that (again). Same problem.

OK, now that you have a clean laptop and you still have the same problem. Please I beg you, go buy you a USB CD/DVD drive that will read/write and you want be disappointed. Your laptop is still good...just the CD writer quit.

It's weird since it can still read disks...
