Hello, for my custom build i need to install windows 10, i have an installation disc. I dont have a usb installer. Can someone link me to a decent optical drive for my build on amazon? Im not sure which one to get. I wasn't sure if some don't support installation disc's.

Thank you!

any dvd drive will run it doesnt need any thing special and dvd drives are dirt cheap

but you can also make your own usb installer easily if you have a usb drive handy

If you have a blank USB thumb drive and access to another computer

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Download that tool, you can make a Windows installer. Instead of buying a drive.

I made a usb installer as well and i purchased a serial number. but just in case the usb doesn't work, i have a dvd.

Is this optical drive ok?
