Burning files into CDs or DVDs is quite useful in some specific occasions, such as backing up important information, sending files to customers, or making music CDs. Although it is used less now, the Windows system has actually retained this function and the operation is not complicated.

Select the burning method after inserting the CD

After inserting a blank CD or DVD, Windows will usually pop up an autoplay window, asking whether you want to "use it like a USB flash drive" or "used to burn files".
It is recommended to select "used to burn files", which is more suitable for saving data at one time and is not easy to delete by mistake. If you choose "like USB drive", it becomes a repeatable write mode, which is suitable for situations where content needs to be modified multiple times, but the compatibility is a little poor.

Drag the file in and start burning

After selecting the mode, you will see a blank disc icon appearing in "This Computer". Double-click to open it and drag the file you want to burn in like a normal folder.
When you put all the files in, click the "Burn to CD" button on the toolbar (usually in the toolbar above), then give a name and select a burning speed. Novice recommends choosing a lower speed, which is more stable.

Do not move the computer, especially the notebook during burning, to avoid vibration and failure.

Remember to close the session after the etching (optional)

By default, Windows will be blocked after burning once, and you cannot add anything to it. If you want to add files later, you can check the "Keep the disc writable" option in the burning settings.
However, this function is only suitable for discs that support multi-segment burning, and you must remember to "close the session" every time you finish the recording, otherwise you may not be able to read it next time.

• Want to confirm whether you can continue to add files? Check if the disc in the optical drive shows that there is still room left.
• If the disk has been blocked, you can't change the content.

Basically all this is it. The whole process is not difficult, but some details are easy to ignore, such as the wrong format selection, the CD is not closed to the session, or the power failure is failed in the middle. As long as you follow the steps, the success rate is still very high.
