Archive game collection

[beikenson]

The disk space is in short for my 3 years old laptop so I plan to archive the game collections. Burning those games to DVD is a good ideal? If so, how to do that?

Why not just buy a new hard drive? A 2TB should be pretty cheap, even a 4TB is affordable. That should be plenty of space for the near future.

You'll need a dvd-burner-drive for that, and they usually come with the programs needed to do that.
However, if your laptop does not already have one, you'll need an external DVDR, and then it might be cheaper to go either USB drive or external HDD.

not a tech guy so it sounds complicated for me.

Seems I need to buy a portable dvd drive. There is no slot for dvd currently

@beikenson By hard drive I meant an external USB hard drive. It can't be simpler: you plug the drive to the computer by usb and it will appear in your computer. That's less than 100$ for at least a 3 TB hard drive. Plus, the current USB 3.0 is A LOT faster than DVDs, meaning the transfer of files will be a lot faster (100+ Mb/s)
