Make sure to check for updates and see if Windows can find a compatible driver for your DVD writer. 2. Manufacturer's Website: Visit the LG website to check if they have provided any Windows 7 drivers for the LG GH10NS10 DVD writer. Manufacturers often release driver updates on their support pages. 3.
