Will my Philips optical drive work with Windows 7/ Vista?

Published on 2017-02-28

Yes, you can use your DVD burner with Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

There is no special driver software needed.

The supplied software (“Nero Essentials”) is compatible with Windows Vista, but not with Windows 7. Windows 7 already includes its own standard built in functionality to burn CDs/DVDs.

Alternative software can be found online. This is free and offers similar functionality (like Nero 9 Lite).
