I am pretty sure it will be plug and play.
I have my mac pro 2010/5.1 running win 10 WITHOUT any bootcamp drivers. And the apple superdrive is plug and play there. Works perfect without any additional driver installation.
So simply try it.

Как использовать Apple SuperDrive с Windows и ПК
У Mac уже нет внутренних дисков DVD и CD-RW, но для пользователей Mac, которым все еще нужно использовать оптические диски, Apple SuperDrive предлагает внешнее универсальное USB-решение, которое может читать и записывать как CD-диски, так и DVD-диски, все, что у вас есть чтобы подключить его к USB-порту на Mac, а Mac OS обнаружит SuperDrive. Но это Mac OS, а не Windows, и многие пользователи Mac также используют операционные системы Windows PC или Windows, так что было бы неплохо использовать этот Apple SuperDrive в Windows?
Но SuperDrive не всегда работает с ПК с Windows сразу же, и иногда Apple SuperDrive либо работает не так, как ожидалось, не принимает диск или не распознается должным образом в Windows, независимо от того, работает ли он на ПК или Mac через Boot Camp или виртуальную машину.
Независимо от сценария, если вы пытаетесь использовать Apple SuperDrive с Windows, и он не работает должным образом, попробуйте выполнить следующие шаги, чтобы заставить SuperDrive работать в Windows.
Как использовать Apple SuperDrive в Windows
Ниже приведено описание установки драйверов Apple SuperDrive для Windows, чтобы SuperDrive функционировал должным образом:
- Загрузитесь в Windows или зайдите на ПК с Windows, пытаясь использовать SuperDrive, если вы еще этого не сделали
- Перейдите на сайт загрузки Apple Support и найдите последнюю версию «Boot Support Support Software» (5.1.5722 или новее)
- Загрузите zip-файл программного обеспечения поддержки Boot Camp и разархивируйте его на компьютере
- Из распакованной папки «Bootcamp5» перейдите в папку \ Bootcamp \ Drivers \ Apple \ и найдите «AppleODDInstaller64.exe»,
Эти шаги должны быть взяты из Windows, однако вы можете загрузить программное обеспечение поддержки Boot Camp на Mac и затем перенести zip-файл в Windows через USB, сеть или ваш метод выбора, если это необходимо, или вы можете просто извлечь «\ Bootcamp \ Drivers \ Apple \ AppleODDInstaller64.exe» (обратите внимание, что на Mac будет помечен файл AppleODDInstaller.exe, если это 32-разрядная версия) и перенести этот exe-установщик в Windows. Однако вы должны быть в Windows для запуска и установки фактических драйверов Bootcamp для SuperDrive.
Это должно работать над тем, чтобы Apple SuperDrive работала над любой современной версией Windows, включая Windows 7, Windows 8 и Windows 10. Обратите внимание, что если вы используете значительно более раннюю версию Windows, вы хотите загрузить более раннюю версию Boot Драйверы лагерей, которые содержат 32-битный exe, а не 64-битный exe, и в противном случае он должен работать так же, как и.
Как только драйверы установлены правильно в Windows, Apple SuperDrive должен принимать диски, читать, писать и извлекать их, как ожидалось, так же, как на Mac. Разумеется, вы также можете получить другой внешний привод DVD-RW / CDRW при меньших затратах, так как многие другие решения работают сразу же с помощью plug-and-play в Windows и Mac OS, но ситуация SuperDrive полезна, если вы уже есть один из Mac, или вы хотите оставаться в соответствии с оборудованием Apple. Зачем покупать новое оборудование, если у вас есть что-то, что уже работает? Такая же логика применяется к клавиатуре Windows на Mac и многим другим распространенным периферийным устройствам, совместимым как с Mac, так и с ПК, даже если для их работы требуется небольшая обработка.

How to Use Apple SuperDrive with Windows and PC
Macs no longer have internal DVD and CD-RW drives, but for Mac users who still need to use optical discs the Apple SuperDrive offers an external all-in-one USB solution that can read and write both CD and DVD discs, all you have to do is plug it into a USB port on the Mac and Mac OS will detect the SuperDrive. But that’s Mac OS, not Windows, and many Mac users also use Windows PC or Windows operating systems, so wouldn’t it be nice to use that Apple SuperDrive in Windows too?
But SuperDrive does not always work with Windows PC right away however, and sometimes the Apple SuperDrive either doesn’t function as expected, won’t accept a disc, or is not properly recognized in Windows, whether running natively on PC, or a Mac through Boot Camp, or a virtual machine either.
Whatever the scenario, if you’re trying to use an Apple SuperDrive with Windows and it’s not working as expected, try the steps below to get the SuperDrive functioning in Windows.
How to Use Apple SuperDrive in Windows
The steps below outline installing Apple SuperDrive drivers for Windows so that the SuperDrive will function as expected:
- Boot into Windows, or get on the Windows PC trying to use SuperDrive if you have not done so already
- Go here to to the Apple Support Downloads site and locate the latest version of “Boot Camp Support Software” (5.1.5722 or newer)
- Download the Boot Camp Support Software zip file and unzip it on the computer
- From the unzipped “Bootcamp5” folder, navigate to \Bootcamp\Drivers\Apple\ and locate “AppleODDInstaller64.exe”
These steps are intended to be from taken from Windows, however you could download the Boot Camp Support Software on a Mac and then transfer the zip file to Windows through USB, networking, or your method of choice if need be, or you could just extract the “\Bootcamp\Drivers\Apple\ AppleODDInstaller64.exe” (note it will be labeled “AppleODDInstaller.exe” if it’s 32-bit version) file on a Mac and transfer that exe installer to Windows. You must be in Windows to run and install the actual Bootcamp Drivers for SuperDrive, however.
This should work to get an Apple SuperDrive working on any modern Windows version, including Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10. Note that if you’re on a notably older Windows release, you’d want to download an earlier version of Boot Camp drivers that contain the 32-bit exe rather than the 64-bit exe, and otherwise it should work the same as well.
Once the drivers are installed properly in Windows, the Apple SuperDrive should accept discs, read, write, and eject them as expected, just like it does on the Mac. Of course you could also just get a different external DVD-RW / CDRW drive too at less cost, as many of the other solutions either work immediately with plug-and-play in Windows and Mac OS, but the SuperDrive situation is helpful if you already have one from a Mac, or you want to stay consistent with Apple hardware. Why buy new hardware when you have something that already works, right? The same logic applies to using a Windows keyboard on a Mac, and many other common peripherals that are compatible with both a Mac and PC, even if they require some minor tinkering to get working as intended.

The W10 installer for the Apple Superdrive on Windows is called
- AppleODDInstaller64.exe — for 64-bit Windows
- AppleODDInstaller.exe — for 32-bit Windows
You can find the installers for W7/W8.1 in the Install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp — Apple Support links. Bootcamp 3.x drivers are for older versions of Windows (XP, Vista. ).

Thanks for the tip. I have tried all versions (4.x and 5.x) of the exe in MacBook Air table. After I installed the driver, I can open the dvd from my PC (latest win10 pro), but the «play DVD» doesn’t work. Any suggestions?
Sep 23, 2020 4:26 PM
Did you install the W7 64-bit driver?
Sep 23, 2020 7:07 PM
w7 driver? Just to clarify, my laptop is a pc (lenove thinkpad) with latest win10 pro.

The AppleODDINstaller allows an Apple Superdrive to work on a non-Apple computer, which has a USB2/USB3 port.
Just to clarify, my laptop is a pc (lenove thinkpad) with latest win10 pro.
And, your OP says.
which is confusing. If you have a Lenovo PC, you can run extract the driver and manually install it on the Lenovo PC.

That is what I did: run appleODDInstaller64.exe on my PC. After it is installed, I can use USB2/3 to run my MacBook Air superdrive which is a DVD player. The problem is I can launch the DVD, but the play button does not work.
Sep 25, 2020 7:49 PM
The problem is I can launch the DVD, but the play button does not work.
Does this happen for multiple DVDs? Are these DVD-Video discs?
