I have a Windows computer. How can I backup important files on to a CD or DVD?

  • Place a blank CD (or DVD) in your computer’s CD or DVD burner. Select Open writable CD folder using Windows Explorer and click on the OK button.


  • Drag the files you want to back up into the CD (or DVD) window that appears.


  • Click on Write these files to CD on the left hand side of the window.
  • Enter the name you want to call this CD into the CD Name field and click the OK button. You will see a progress bar as your computer burns your CD.
