The DVD burners are Life's Good products, in new condition. Specifically, M-Disc LG GH24HNSC0B 24X Internal DVD Rewritable Drives.
The manufacturer assures me there is no firmware physically in the drive. They are reported to be plug and play compatible.
I personally installed one drive and it worked like a charm sometime last year.
On 06/06/2020 I had my PC in the shop for some service and requested they install a second drive of the same make and model.
Since they serviced my PC, the optical disc drives started fouling up.
Then my HDD, Drive C:\ crashed. Now that neither optical disc drive works, I can't use my old Windows ISO disc to reinstall windows.
If I use Microsoft's utility to reinstall Windows 10, they will force me to use the latest release of Windows 10 Pro.
I don't want that. Why? Because the same day the service people installed the second device they ran Windows Security/Update, and that was the beginning of a world of chaos.
I need some advice.
I want to install the last version that was working and life was good and avoid possible pitfalls with the latest release. I have my means and a way.
I have since learned how to stop updates on installed devices to avoid this kind of event again.
Does anyone see fault in my logic?
