Hi Eddie460,

Thanks for writing to us. Is it the first time are you using the DVD drive ? The system will by default come with windows media player, you can use the player to use the DVD, or if you want to use another media player you can install VLC player which is a free downloads from cnet.com.

Do provide us your system tag#, email address and name via private message.

Regards

Windows 10 upgrade REMOVES DVD Codecs.

Learn more about DVD playback options

Here's the list of what's taken away with the Windows 10 upgrade.

       If you have Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 8 Pro with Media Center, or Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center and you install Windows 10, Windows Media Center will be removed.

Watching DVDs requires a new purchase of separate playback software

Windows 7 desktop gadgets will be removed as part of installing Windows 10.

Windows 10 Home users will have updates from Windows Update automatically available.

Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users will have the ability to defer updates.

Solitaire, Minesweeper, and Hearts Games that come pre-installed on Windows 7 will be removed as part of installing the Windows 10 upgrade. Microsoft has released our version of Solitaire and Minesweeper called the "Microsoft Solitaire Collection" and "Microsoft Minesweeper."

 If you have a USB floppy drive, you will need to download the latest driver from Windows Update or from the manufacturer's website.

If you have Windows Live Essentials installed on your system, the OneDrive application is removed and replaced with the inbox version of OneDrive.
