    I have Win11 Pro. and this USB Drive.
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B5FZMB48/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I plug it in and insert a SL Blank DVD into the Drive.

    I let Win11 Pro Format the Drive then I open it and put my Files on it.

    I do not see a Burn to Disc option.

    Sometimes if I go to the 3. Dots on the Top Right it will have Burn To Disc but nothing happens.

    If Win11 Pro. does open a window telling me to give the Disc a name and what type of option do I want to use it only goes so far.

    Some times it will open my Computers DC DVD ROM Drive so this makes me think I am not doing something Right.

    I looked on google and watched videos on this and no good.

    Can somebody tell me step by step what to do and I will do it.
    Then I can tell you at what point it will give me a problem.

    Thanks for all the help.

    Thank you for getting back to me.

    I plug my USB Blu Ray DVD CD Drive in.

    Then I insert a Blank SL DVD.

    The window opens and I give it a Name and put a Dot in Make it to be used in Computers or CD ROM Drives.

    I Click next and it open the Drive in File Explorer and I Copy my Files to this window.

    Now the Link to the How To you sent me tells me to look in the Top of this window for See More Tab.

    I do not see it.

    What will it look like>

    Or do I have to have it Turned on or something?

    I am in Win11 Pro. thanks for the help.

    Ok I was playing around with it last night and this is what happens.

    After I plug my USB Blu Ray DVD CD ROM Drive in it open a window so I give it a name a put a dot in Use in an Computer.

    Then a window opens telling me to Drag Files so I do.

    If I look at the Top of the window it has my Blu Ray Drive Selected.

    Now at the Top of the window that I just Dragged Files to if I look to the Far Right I see 3. Dots.

    I click the 3. Dots and a Menu Drops Down.

    One of the options says Burn to Disc.

    I click it and my CD DVD ROM Drive that is Built into my System Opens.

    I am in my USB Blu Ray Drive window and it says it at the Top so what is going on?

    I think I can give more information about what is going on.

    I have Win11 Pro. and my CD DVD Drive is Drive D but when I plug my Blu Ray DVD Burner into my USB Port it is Drive E.

    I plug in my USB Blu Ray DVD Drive.

    Then I insert a SL DVD.

    I Right click on the Folder I want to Burn to the Disc.

    Then I go down to More Options.

    Then I click Send To BL Drive.

    My Folder gets Sent to the Drive.

    At the Top of the Window it Says BL Drive E.

    I click the 3. Dots to the Far Right then click Burn to Disc.

    Then a Window opens telling me to insert a Disc in Drive D.

    Then my CD DVD Drive in my Computer opens.

    The whole time it is saying it sees Drive E but when it comes time to Burn the Disc it wants me to use Drive D my CD DVD Drive.

    Does this help?

    Biferi: Referring to steps 12 & 13 in the link I provided, which option did you choose? If you didn’t choose the option to allow the disk to be read by most computers, you may not see a Burn button.

    ghostman: thanks for helping out. I think this is your first post (other than your ‘Hello’ post which I should have responded to - sorry about that)
    Anyway, I’m not familiar with BurnAware. Have you used it? If so, what do you like about it over Windows’ native burning software? Just curious here.
