How to Burn a DVD on Windows 10

The DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) is seemingly becoming obsolete for PCs as disc sales have plummeted in recent years.

Many users download most software from the internet, which has made software discs increasingly redundant. Discs are also less essential for movies thanks to Netflix and other similar platforms.

So, it’s not surprising far fewer new PCs have built-in optical drives these days. Yet, the DVD isn’t entirely dead.

Many users with older PCs still utilize their optical drives for playing videos, music, and other purposes.

You can also utilize a writable DVD much the same as a USB drive. If you format a disc, you can move, edit, and delete files stored on it within File Explorer. So, the DVD is a flexible storage medium.
