User questions & answers

Question:	Does this work with windows
Answer:	It should work with Windows 8 though I only used with Windows 10. If you insert a DVD and a video player does not start up, you may need a player that will recognize the drive. On a recommendation from a friend, I installed "VLC media player" and this app opens when I insert a DVD into the Riodadas player. VLC is a free and open source media player that works with all Windows versions. You can get the player here: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/
Question:	Can this be used to install windows 10 without the need to somehow install a driver first? it's rather tough to do that when trying to install an os
Answer:	This is basically a laptop optical drive in an external case with USB connection. I would think so. If the installation disk contains the installation software and the computer can access a USB device then it should. Changes to the boot device may be required.
Question:	Does this play games like sims
Answer:	It's played all my games without so much of a skip.
Question:	Does this work on macs
Answer:	Won't work with Mac 10.15.7! It was working before; now it seems useless. I see someone else is having this issue.

Question:	Does this require two USB ports to work

Question:	does it need external power or just usb
Answer:	no just power from USB port
Question:	I'm sorry. i'm computer illiterate. can i use this to burn my music to a dvd-rw disc
Answer:	I think it would burn music to a dvd-rw disc no problem, but if it was just music, and no video, you should only need a cd-rw disc and not a dvd disc. It burns anything! Good luck!
Question:	Does it work with Windows
Answer:	Perhaps this is info is too late, but I had this LG drive for about 6 months using it with Win-7.I just upgraded to Windows 10 last week, and the drive works just fine. I didn't have to update any drivers or anything.Unless Window 10 found the drivers and installed them in the background, so I didn't notice, but the bottom line is that it works fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	Did anyone have problems using this with windows
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: It's supposed to work with Windows 10 but it does not work. I didn't return it when I should have - hoped to get it to work but I didn't. Wasted money!
Question:	Will this play cd/dvd's on my lao top? is that what it is for
Answer:	Dec. 21, 2020: I have been unable to use this player. I wanted to return in but since it has so many positive reviews I decided to hang on to it and keep trying but it still is not working. Am I doing something wrong? I have an all-in-one HP with Windows 10 and it usually plays DVDs flawlessly but the DVD 'door' came off and it no longer works so I purchased this...it does not work. The disc goes in, then it makes all these grinding sounds and then-nothing. It stops. Before I throw it in the trash-any suggestions?
Question:	will this cd drive work for still photos and videos
Answer:	Yes!
Question:	Will I need to download a driver to install programs from CDs to my laptop or does it work like an internal drive since it's plug&play
Answer:	From page 5 of the Amicool User Manual: Precaution: Item 3. Whether the drive can be recognized depends on the internal driver program. Almost all older operating systems contain an internal driver program that can recognize the CD drive directly without installation. Please make sure that your computer has the internal driver program. If you don't have one yet, please feel free to contact us. We can send you a link to download a driver. I am waiting for a response from Amicool.

User questions & answers

Question:	Anyone noticed the usb cable provided seems like usb 2 instead usb
Answer:	Indeed, the cable is USB 2, not 3. This shouldn't be an issue, though, because the drive speed is the limiting factor. Reading & writing CDs & DVDs (not Blu-Ray disks) is slow enough that USB 3's high data rates are wasted.
Question:	Will it play bluray disk also
Answer:	Im sorry, the product will not play blue ray
Question:	can it be used with a mac? I have a new macbook pro running yosemite
Answer:	Yes it does work on Mac, BUT the drive will not mount until you insert a disc into the drive. I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra. On Sierra, I tested it against USB-c, which is the smaller port found on newer (2017 and forward) Macbook Pros. I used a USB-c to USB-a adapter to do so. It worked fine.
Question:	Will this play on Windows
