I need one to download photos onto. I have a Dell laptop with windows 8. Will I be able to download or burn my photos onto a cd with this?

This model is easy to setup and use so it should be able to burn photos onto cds.

This unit is compatible with Windows 8 and you can burn your photos to CDs.

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!

Yes, however, as you may already know, Windows 8 does not have a native media player for DVDs. Even Windows Media Player did not work for this. I downloaded a VLC player which worked wonderfully with no issues. Otherwise the drive was able to rip CDs and play movies. I have not used it to burn movies or CDs yet. I have no reason to believe that these functions would not work equally as well.

I moved my pictures from XP to windows 8 with ease. Very user friendly device and great support if needed. Should be fine!

I used it to download photos from a Fuji card onto my laptop that has Windows 8 and it worked perfectly.

yes, it seems to work just fine with my dell laptop running windows 8.1. I just installed the driver, it asked me to plug in camera component [I did] and then I did the software install and the images show up just fine on my laptop.

I used a Dell desktop with Windows 7. It did not have a wifi or anything like it. I just plugged the Long Range into the USB port and it loaded drivers automatically. It considered the Long Range a wifi card and just took care of itself. I did not use the cd with programs that came with it.

I have had no problems at all using this brand of CDs for photos that I want to give to a relative; but frankly it is a huge waste of office space to store photos on CDs. A better choice is to store photos on DVDs. An even better choice is storing your photos in the cloud. If you have an Office 365 account with Microsoft you can have as much as a Terrabyte of cloud storage; Amazon also has a real good deal with cloud storage for documents and photos. With cloud storage, you can always access your photos from anywhere.

As long as Micro$oft still supports USB with Win 8.1, the Kanguru drive will work. Whether or not the program you use to actually burn CDs or DVDs is a whole other question.

It works GREAT with Windows 8. I use the lightscribe program to burn the cover and Nero to burn data. The computer recognizes the drive. Highly recommend.

I am running windows 8.1 (64) on a laptop. I probably loaded a driver that came with the drive, but I did not download anything. I have had no problems at all except that I would like to operate throught a usb3 hub and that is not reliable. I use the unit heavily and highly recommend it. good luck!

Angela, you'll have to download the .iso file to your hard drive then use a program like imgBurn to burn the file to the CD/DVD drive.

If you get a CD then you have to have a CD reader. Just buy it online and you will be able to download it as an ISO image to your PC

It is easy to store on a CD or DVD. I transferred my photos directly to my computer and then downloaded to a CD so I would have a back-up. Make sure the CD is rewriteable or you will not be able to edit. You can also download directly to a thumb drive.

Copy the software from the CD to a flash drive and the plug the flash drive into the ASUS and youre good to go. Works for me. I also purchase a little slim CD/DVD burner on ebay for about 46 bux. it plugs into two of the usb points, one for data and one for power. It's about 1/2" thick and just a little bigger the a CD.

I used it with a DELL Vostro 1700, with Vista. I have know way of knowing if it will work on a Lenovo or with Windows 8. It uses 1 USB port. When you use the term "burner", you're implying that you're referring to a CD/DVD drive. Please be advised that this is a 3.5 "FLOPPY" drive- NOT CD/DVD.

I am not quite sure how to answer this question, so I will answer it as best as I can as related to this device.This device is able to install software to your computer via CD/DVD. There isn't any software to download to operate this device as it is plug and play on my Windows 7 machine. This device should also let you burn to disc as long as you have the software to do so.
