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.
