Looking under Control Panel / Device Manager / DVD/CD-Rom drives I see the driver installed is signed by Microsoft, version 3.0. Half of my attempts were with the Apple Superdrive alreday connected (which means Windows recognises a new DVD/CD-ROM type device and installs some sort of basic driver) half of my attempts were with the Apple Superdrive not connected (and totally de-installed, ie having deleted the Windows driver it will otherwise automatically add when it sees a new USB plugin). I have downloaded the most recent Bootcamp from Apple Support (version ), and just to be certain, extracted all files from the download to my local drive. I have a Lenovo Yoga 910 computer, running Windows 10 64-bit. However, I have tried for about 2 hours, and cannot get it to work!

While this might not be the best option if you’re looking to purchase an optical drive to use with both platforms, it works for those who have already gone with the Apple option and want to use it on more than just their Macs.

After you complete the installer, you should be able to insert a disk and use the drive as you normally would.

Launch the AppleODDInstaller64.exe file, located in /BootCamp/Drivers/Apple/AppleODDInstaller64.exe and follow the instructions to install the driver on your PC.

Right click on the Boot Camp zip file in your Downloads folder and click Extract All.

Download the latest Boot Camp Drivers from Apple.

At this point, you’ll probably see it show up under This PC, but inserting a disk won’t do anything (and the disk probably won’t even go in the whole way.)

Plug the SuperDrive into the USB port on the computer.

Here’s how you can make your SuperDrive work with Windows. If you’re looking for an external optical drive to use on a Windows PC and happen to have an Apple SuperDrive handy, installing a Boot Camp driver on the Windows PC will give you that functionality.
