apple superdrive

I have an apple superdrive optical drive that I use on my imac. I want to also be able to use it on my windows 10 machine. , When I plug it in, the windows 10 machine recognizes it but it will not draw the disc in, I rechecked it on the imac and it works perfectly. Are there drivers available and if yes, please give me detailed instructions on how to use as I am not the sharpest tack in the box.

Thanks

There are drivers for Windows. That is how a Superdrive is supported in Bootcamp/Windows on Macs with built-in or external SuperDrives.

Any Apple driver for Boot Camp would not be understood on a Windows machine.

As long as there is compatible hardware, BC drivers will work on a Windows PC. I install drivers on PCs for users who prefer to use Apple peripherals, e.g., Keyboards, Mice, Superdrives, etc.,. Some BC5.x and BC6.x drivers will work on Windows PCs.
