    How do I burn a DVD?


    Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial for this?

    In Windows it was quite straightforward, I do it in Windows Explorer. File Explorer in Win10 though? I'm lost.

    I've got to the bit where I name the DVD and the window is there showing me the files waiting to be burned. Then I go into Share and click the button that says Burn To Disc and then nothing happens.

    What am I missing?

    They're DVD-R's so I don't know if they are compatible with this computer, and I don't know how to check that but it's not telling me they aren't compatible. It can read them anyway...

    Oh. Would it be Right click on the drive and then choose burn to disc maybe?

    Well done Microsoft for convoluting the process even further...

    If you are having problems with Windows Disc Burning utility, try the Free CD BurnerXP. You can choose to make a Data CD/DVD or AudioCD , or DVD etc, very easy to use.
