Am having great difficulty in downloading pictures from my digital camera to the PICTURES FOLDER in Windows 8. How is the job done?

Please don't ask me to use flash drives. For one thing they are expensive in Malta whilst cds are cheap.

Secondly, after downloading the pictures to the pictures folder, how to put them on a cd?

I use Firefox, Windows 8 and am trying to get used to a new Acer laptop which I have never used before.

Please, will you give me step by step instructions, as if I were a young schoolboy, as at my age (75) I have become slow on the uptake.

Many thanks.
