Windows 10: DVD / Blu Ray Playback Options

DVD or Blu Ray Playback

Windows 10, 8 / 8.1, and 7* do not have native DVD / Blu Ray playback functionality. Either the Windows DVD Player app (No Blu Ray support) or a third party app will have to be used to play DVD / Blu Ray movies.

*: If you're running Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Starter, you can upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium, Ultimate, or Enterprise to add full DVD capability or buy and install a compatible DVD movie player app.

Playback Apps

Dell is not able to officially recommend specific software, but these are some of the most common apps used for DVD / Blu Ray playback.

• Windows DVD Player (No Blu Ray support): Microsoft.com/Store/Windows-DVD-Player
• VLC (No "offical" Blu Ray support): Videolan.org
• Leawo Blu Ray Player: Leawo.com/Blu-Ray-Player
• Power DVD: Cyberlink.com/Products/Powerdvd-Ultra
