External DVD Drive. How to use?
I have a Dell external drive ( DW316 ) connected properly to a new Inspiron 11 Series 3000. How do I make it display and play a dvd? Thank you

If it came with software, install that -- if not and it's Windows 10, there is no native DVD playback - you can use a free player like VLC Media Player, or purchase something like PowerDVD from CyberLink, or a DVD codec for Windows Media Player. If you're looking to play blue-ray DVDs, make sure whatever you purchase supports blue-ray -- VLC does but will not play all blue-ray discs. For that you'll need the full CyberLink suite.
