Dell and Windows 7 lets you archive your photos quickly.
One of the benefits of digital photography is the ease with which photos can be stored on computers and digital media. Gone are the days of shoeboxes filled with photos piling up in the garage. Now it's simply a matter of filling up discs when computer space runs out. Saving photos onto a DVD, which provides much more storage capacity than a CD, is a simple process.
Instructions
1. Insert a blank DVD into your optical drive. When the "Auto Play" window opens select "Burn files to disc using Windows Explorer."
2. Note the "Burn a disc window" that opens. Title your disc in the field indicated under "How do you want to use this disc?" Select the radial button next to "With a CD/DVD player" then click "Next."
3. Select the photos on your Dell computer that you wish to copy onto the DVD by clicking on each photo, then dragging it to the "Files ready to be written to the disc" pane. Repeat this process until you have moved all the photos you wish to copy.
4. When the "Burn to disc window" opens, click "Next." Note the progress bar, and wait until "Performing final steps to finish this disc" is complete.
5. Click on "Finish" when the "You have successfully burned your files to the disc" appears. Retrieve your ejected disc.
6. Create another disc using the same files by clicking on the check box next to "Yes, burn these files to another disc."
