## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this play on Windows 10**
A: Yes, it will work on Windows 10. Don't use the software that comes with it. Download Handbrake or something similar instead.

**Q: can it be used with a mac? I have a new macbook pro running yosemite...**
A: Yes it does work on Mac, BUT the drive will not mount until you insert a disc into the drive.  I tested this on both Yosemite and Sierra.  

On Sierra, I tested it against USB-c, which is the smaller port found on newer (2017 and forward) Macbook Pros.  I used a USB-c to USB-a adapter to do so. It worked fine.

**Q: Anyone noticed the usb cable provided seems like usb 2 instead usb3?**
A: Well I did not get any USB cable. And I see some did get software which was posted that this product has.
Maybe the Dell folks could send this stuff out to me since the USB is not a common type, and software will be another $30 or so....

**Q: Will it play bluray disk also?**
A: Im sorry, the product will not play blue ray
