On a Surface RT/2 this means you can read files or play MP3s and on a Surface Pro/Pro2 you can also install programs. I’ve been using this technique to install some of my old games on my Surface Pro 2 (Evil Genius, for example) that I can’t get on Steam. Your Surface can then mount the ISO file as if it were reading a real disc. An ISO file is essentially a copy of a whole CD or DVD without the disc. This method involves using software on a desktop or laptop with a DVD/CD drive to create an ISO file. Access data or install from DVD/CD to Surface This method does require access to a computer with a DVD/CD drive (I’m good but not so good I can teach you how to magic the data off of the disc without a drive). I’m assuming that it will be a Windows machine but even if it’s not, the ideas will carry over, although the steps will be different. What if you don’t have a Portable DVD/RW External Drive? No problem, we have a method to get the data to your Surface tablet without a USB DVD/CD drive. On Surface RT/2, you can not install software without going through the Windows Store. Though, you will only be able to actually install software if you have a Surface Pro/Pro2 This will work for Surface RT/2 or Surface Pro/Pro2 tablets just like from any other Windows computer. You can just plug it into the handy USB port and as long as it’s on the supported hardware list, you will see it pop up in Explorer on the desktop as a drive. The most obvious way to do this is with a Portable DVD/RW External Drive. However there are times where you might need to access data or install software from DVD/CD to your Surface tablet. Surface tablets are really convenient and you can download or install 99% of what you need right from the network.
