Ever since I discovered that it’s possible to install Windows from USB drives, I stopped burning ISO files to DVDs. All my data are mostly saved either on the internal drive of my HP notebook or Seagate external drive.

A couple of days ago, while trying to connect to my desktop PC, my four-year old Seagate external drive accidentally fell down from a height of about 2 feet. Since then all my PCs and recovery CDs are refusing to detect the external drive.
Now that I have lost some important data, I have decided not to relay on just on external drives. From here onwards, I want to save all important files no just on external drives but also on DVDs. Agree that DVDs are not as popular as they were a couple of years ago but I feel that they are at least reliable. I am also aware that new computers especially ultrabooks no longer ship with optical drives but I am sure that finding a good computer with an optical drive will not be difficult in the next five years.
Nero burning free version
When it comes to burning DVDs, there are plenty of tools around to choose from. With so many tools with similar options available, it’s really difficult to pick up one tool without much testing.
If you’re looking for a reliable software to burn your data to a CD/DVD, you should first check out now discontinued Nero StartSmart Essentials. Nero StartSmart Essentials (also known as Nero 9 Essentials) was released about six years ago as a free software.
Nero StartSmart Essentials although no longer available to download from the official Nero website, we can easily get a clean copy of it from the link mentioned at the end of this article.
The beauty of Nero burning software that we are talking about here is that it’s fully compatible with not just Windows 7 but also Windows 8.1 and the latest Windows 10.
Note that the setup file, which is about 50 MB offers you install the Ask browser toolbar but you can uncheck Install Asks toolbar option to install Nero without the toolbar.

It is important to mention that while this particular version of Nero disc burning software is 100% free for unlimited use by home users, it is utilizing in-app ads to provide revenue to the development team. The app can showcase Newsfeeds from various RSS sources, and the user is able to manually subscribe or unsubscribe from those sources.
Installation and Use
Nero comes in a small installation package that can be installed on all versions of modern Windows OS (XP, Vista, 7,8, and Windows 10). However, you need to pay attention to the entire installation setup procedure, because by default Nero Free edition will offer you to install several 3rd party products. After the installation is finished, you will gain the ability to run the app, which will immediately detect all the currently attached CD or DVD writers on your PC.
User Interface of the app is very similar to many other versions of this app that were released through the years. The free version of the app is focused on the single screen that features two modes of working (Data Burning and Copy Disc) and five configuration tabs for setting up the task in more detail. From there you can also manage rewritable drives (erasing or adding another data session).
Nero 7 Download For Windows 10
One of the limitations of the free version of Nero is that you cannot manually select the desired speed of writing. Instead of picking the desired rate of writing, you can pick between four pre-made presets (Minimum, Safe mode, Automatic and Maximum) that will try to optimize writing speed depending on the capabilities of your disc drive. Writing NRG image drives to the disc can be accessed via options screen, inside the “Copy Disc” section.
