Assuming your new laptop is running Windows 10, it is highly unlikely that a version as old as MEP MX will run successfully. (MX was version 11, I think, the latest release is version 20.)

MEP, at least in more modern versions, can see and use USB DVD burners. I suspect the fact that your installation does not is but one manifestation of the incompatibility between MEP MX and Win 10, sorry.

Can you not export the ISO file and use a second free program to burn the DVD?

@phildring

I would heartily endorse @CubeAce's suggestion; in fact I never burn a disc directly from the program but always use the "Image Recorder" option to create an .iso file, which I can then burn using other, dedicated, burning software. For me, the best "free" burning program is ImgBurn. Although it has not been updated in some time I find it ideal, especially for burning Dual-Layer discs, i.e., when creating exported videos larger than about 4.5 GB.
