Burning Photos to an Optical Disc

Although it carries with it the faint scent of the old fashioned, you can copy a selection of photos to a recordable optical (CD or DVD) disc—a process called burning. You can then send the disc to a friend or relative to share your photos.

If you have a CD or DVD burner—that is, a CD or DVD drive capable of recording data to a disc—attached to your computer (almost all new computers come with one), Windows should recognize it and be ready to burn at will.
