Q: 4. I bought this to use on my new Windows 10 computer. I was shocked to learn that Windows 10 Media Player does not support DVD nor BlueRay play back. I installed the CyberLink software that came with this drive expecting it to install DVD/BD player software but still no luck. Is this drive not compatible with Win10 or am I doing something wrong?

A: I have 1 Windows 10 desktop and 1 Windows 10 laptop and this LG Bluray Burner works well with both machines. Plug it in and it works. Windows 10 media player does not support Bluray, so it comes with Cyberlink Media Suite. Install the suite on both machines and voila... It plays Bluray or burns disc easily. No problem at all.

Q: 10. So what's the final verdict? Does this unit write Blu-rays to a mid 2012 MacBook Pro running El Capitan? I've already tried the LG BP 60NB10 that I bought on Amazon and was not successful with this. That model also would not play a homemade DVD.

A: Yes, the LG Slim Portable Blu-ray/DVD Writer BH #LGWP50NB40 can write Blu-ray discs on a Mac 2012 running el Capitan, however, they would only be Data blu-rays. If you want to make blu-ray discs to play on a blu-ray player, you would need additional software.
