    Question: Windows will automatically find drivers or do I still need to install drivers from online or CD (if the burner comes with it)?
    Question 2: Do you have to go into the bios & make any changes due to an upgrade?
    I’m going to upgrade to a lightscribe blu-ray/ HD dvd burner writer since my DVD burner won’t work anymore after a cd shattered inside of it. First time this happened to me but it happen to a causin of mine like 10 years ago.
