Product: HP Pavilion 16 inch Laptop PC 16-af0000 (954S0AV)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11
I want an external cd/dvd drive for my new Pavilion laptop running windows 11.
The HP store is out of stock.
Where can I find an HP external drive for my laptop?
Is there a brand other than HP that is compatible with my Pavilion ?
Is a drive that is compatible with Windows 10 compatible with Windows 11?

Hi @Penster2022
You can actually use any brand of external DVD that connects to a USB port,
