Yes it can burn DVD's from a USB drive or copy the files to the local hard drive. For more information got to: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/burn-cd-or-dvd-media-player

That's a software issue. As long as you have the software to utilize either the dvd files or an iso, you can burn it to dvd

You would need to connect both the thumbdrive and this DVD writer to your computer, and then use the computer to write the thumbdrive pics onto a DVD put into the DVD writer. This DVD writer itself does not have a direct connection for a thumb drive nor a computer processor or software on it--that's what the computer is for.

yes it does burn DVD's but you will need a secondary program to do it. There are many and I'll leave it up to you to figure out what meets your needs.

Yes. you can connect a DVD drive to the USB adapter to install the OS. Alternatively; You can also burn the DVD to an image and install from a USB drive (http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/ss/install-windows-8-usb-tutorial.htm)

External DVD drive would be the best option. Optical drives are atypical on lightweight ultrabooks.

I am not overly tech savvy but my kids watch DVD movies on this laptop so I am assuming the answer would be yes to DVD Drive.

Robyn Garland, I tried to use an external portable for CD on this Wolvol small computer, but it did not work, so I am just assuming that it might not also work for an external portable for DVD.

THANK YOU! I've never heard of an external DVD/CD-ROM drive so I truly appreciate the advice! Thank you!!

Yes, since this laptop contains "4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external via USB it should work fine and the OS will recognize the USB connection and should install proper driver.

Probably won't be able to. As others have said you can try searching online and loading onto a USB device or simply installing directly from the web if that's possible. There are several inexpensive external DVD / CD-Roms out there that will do the job nicely. And the good news is the external drive can be used on other PCs/laptops.

All I know to say is try it. It works with USB to hook to my computer. And I can put a DVD or CD into the computer and play it. I don't have an external drive.
