The full name of CD, or Compact Disc, is also referred to as a laser disc. It was introduced in 1982 as an optical disc for storing digital data.

Current CDs are generally recordable discs, including CD-R and CD-RW. • CD-Rs are record-once, ie only allow data to be written to the disc. • CD-RWs are rewritable, allowing data to be written to and erased from the disc, but only a specific number of times (usually about 1000), which varies slightly between brands.
After understanding the definition of CD, let’s introduce the preparation work before burning CD in Windows 10 system and several burning methods. Let’s learn together.
II. How to burn a CD in Windows 10 system?
1. Preparation before burning CD
Burning a CD involves transferring music, pictures, and videos from a computer folder onto a blank CD, while ripping a CD involves copying these files from a CD onto a computer folder. In this article, we will focus on the process of burning a CD and the necessary items needed for this task.
① Blank CD
② CD burner or CD drive (for connecting CD to computer)
After the above items are prepared, you can continue to learn how to burn a CD.
2. Burn a CD using File Explorer
The file resource management in the Windows 10 system can help us burn CDs. The steps are as follows:
① Insert a blank CD into the CD drive and a window for “Burn a Disc” will pop up. You will have the option to burn the CD as a USB flash drive or using a CD/DVD player. Once you have chosen the recording method, click the “Next” button to proceed.
② If you opt for a USB flash drive, the CD disc will appear as a folder in the file explorer. Simply copy and paste the files onto the disc. Keep in mind that if your disc is a record-once CD-R, any written files cannot be deleted. Even if you delete them on your computer, they will only be logically deleted and the data will still be physically burned onto the disc.
③ If you opt for using a CD/DVD player, simply open the CD-ROM drive in the file explorer to access the “Files Ready to Be Written to the Disc” section. From there, you can easily drag and drop or copy and paste the necessary files for temporary storage.
Once all the files are in place, click on “Finish burning” in the top menu bar under “Drive Tools” to initiate the burning process. Don’t forget to set the disc title and recording speed before clicking “Finish” to complete the process.
