How can I transfer photos from my desktop computer to a CD?

I used to be able to transfer photos from my desktop computer on to a CD. It seems that software updates have removed this option. All it will do now is put them on One Drive which is useless because I don’t have any other device that uses One Drive. Nor do I want to get one.

At some time the computer will die. I’d like to keep the photos.

How can I rescue the photos I’d downloaded from my camera to this computer and put them on CDs, same as I’ve done since the year 2000?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Hi @dzerjb ,

Here’s just one link that shows how to transfer files to a CD or DVD.

There are others. Just search for transfer files to CD (or DVD) Win 10 to get results.

Its not burning the CDs that's the problem. I used to do it on this computer. The problem is that the photos software that used to include the option to put the photos on a CD will now only let me put them on One Drive, which is useless to me!

Hi,

What happens if you put a CD-R in the drive as per the link and then try to copy / paste from Windows Explorer picture file location to the CD drive?

Do not use the photo software, just locate the file location of the pictures using Windows Explorer

If your DVD burner is no longer working, you may have to download free disk-burning software. Some well-known alternatives to Windows Media Player are DeepBurner and BurnAware.
