Yes, most all DVD burners also burn CD's. I haven't tried with W8 but if Lenovo hasn't updated the driver for the device I'm pretty sure Windows will be able to work with W7 drivers or at lease have a generic one that works.

You can use built-in Windows 8 functionality, like to copy files on your CD and click burn. Or any other software like Nero Burning ROM or simpler.

I had no problems using windows 8. Plugged in and converted floppy discs at once without problems.

I have Windows 8.1 and the dongle works, no problems. I did need to install the software (CD was enclosed with the dongle), but it took just a couple of minutes and it has been working great!

yes you can burn CDs and DVDs. My one complaint about this PC is that it is shipped with NO information, the Microsoft program that comes with the PC does not come with the necessary product code so you need to call it get it. Other than that, it is a great PC - we love it!

I have not tried this unit with Windows 8.1 but I don't see a problem. I should connect very easily to 8.1. Windows 7 Pro had no problem recognizing the drive.

I used it with windows 8 to transfer data from ide drive from a broken laptop and worked very well. I don't remember at that time if it was windows 8 or 8.1

I honestly don't know. I'm a Macintosh user and it works fine with the latest operating system for the Mac, but haven't tried it with Windows 8.1.

I've had no problems using it. Didn't need the disc that came with it. Windows and linux see it as a burner and work fine for cd's, dvd's, and BD.

Don't know if it works 8.1. Works fine on windows 7. It has software on disk and runs from USB port.
