Please help!

How do I create backup CDs for software that I have downloaded via the internet just in case my PC crashes?

Many thanks.

Most likely a CD does not have the capacity to store large software packages; use a DVD instead.

You can use any CD/DVD burning software to back up your installers.  Depending on your operating system, it may have come with it.

You should not need to.  If you downloaded them, they will still be available for download again if you should need them.

Thanks

But I would still be interested in knowing how to back up the software to CD
