Compact discs are a convenient means of storing and transferring information. Copying files to them from a computer can be carried out both with the standard capabilities of the operating system, and with the help of third-party applications.

Insert the disc into your computer's disc drive. After that, use Explorer to open the folder containing the files you want to copy. Select them with the left mouse button, then right-click on them, select the "Send" menu item and select the drive in which the disc was inserted. You can also right-click on the selected files and select the "Copy" item, then open the disk folder using the explorer and, by right-clicking, select "Paste".
Step 2
On the toolbar of the Explorer window with the disc folder, click on the "Burn CD" link. Provide a name for the disc to be burned, and then click Next. Wait for the process to finish. When the recording is finished, the disc tray will open - the disc has been recorded, you can remove it.
