If your computer is a few years old then an external CD burner may be a good choice for you as they are portable and easy to user. Most of them hook up through a simple USB port. If your computer is old enough that you don’t have USB then be sure to shop for one that hooks up another way.

I always like to turn my computer off before hooking up my new burner. After I get it plugged in then I turn my computer on and install the software that comes with most CD burners. The last thing I like to do is to make sure my brand new burner is sitting in a safe place.
