Can you download other software like Smart music on it with an external disk drive

If you buy the version with Windows RT, I do not believe that you can. The Windows RT version only runs apps that are downloaded from the Windows store and files that can be used by those apps. I believe I read somewhere that Lenovo was developing a model that runs a full version of Windows which will allow users to run 3rd party software.

No. You would have to by an external adapter for a cd drive. It does however have 2 USB drives.

Mediasonic makes the product you need. It is called Smart-drive Model No: HD6-SU3S2. Go to their website www.mediasonic.ca for more details. If you decide to purchase it you will need to download the drivers. I have windows 8.1 and had problems with my computer not recognizing the external drive or if it did it would drop it after a short period. After I installed the drivers the problems went away. Hope this helps.

Not unless you have the right software to only read the hard drive. This device only turns the Hard Drive into an External Device. It has no options whatsoever.

Yes, in some cases you might need to create a folder named "MUSIC" on the root (the first window you get, when you double click on the pen drive) of the pen drive, and put and your music on the "MUSIC" folder.

Yes if you save stuff to the card. You can also move previously downloaded apps and pictures to the sd card. And music.

There may be other methods, but I just plug it into a USB port on my PC, open Windows Media Player, and use the sync menu to download my music.

I believe you can just plug in a thumb drive with music on it or write a CD with music.

You can use pretty much any USB external cd, DVD, or bluray burner or player. The drivers are usually preloaded so there should be no issues.

It will help you if you place files and videos and music on the external drive because it will free space on your internal drive. You will have to connect the external drive anytime you want to access the files though.

No, you have to buy an external USB DVD/Rom. The $25 Samsung USB 2.0 drive is a nice choice.

Yes. This external drive is just like the Super Drive for the MAC. It is a read and write drive or plays DVD's and music CD's, just like a hard drive in a computer would act.

No. I picked up an external pretty cheap. It's a little inconvenient, but it makes it lighter and more portable.

I don't see why not. If your PC recognizes the external drive, you should be ok. The only problem will be format. Your text from the word processor will have to be able to be translated into something your PC can read. If you have a problem, I suggest you give the Geek Squad a call. Tell them you just bought an external 3.5 floppy and you need to know how to download onto your PC. They may have a suggestion.

You can use something like ES File Explorer to access the files on the external drive but I don't think you will be able to install any apps to it. But if you have your movies and music on the external then that might give you the room you need on the internal.

yes it is just like what is on your computer just external...if music is not protected it will burn it

You will have to purchase an external DVD/CD-ROM drive. AMAZON has several for sale.
