Insertion Blu-ray

If you want to copy your Blu-ray disc, you need to insert the Blu-ray disc into the drive before starting the copy. Then the software will automatically detect the disc in a few seconds, and ensure the Internet connection is in good condition.

Note: Most Windows computers have a built-in optical drive, however, many new Windows computers no longer come with built-in optical drives in the quest for thin and light designs and more efficient performance. You should connect an external drive to your computer first if there is no internal drive.
