How to run DVD on Windows 10 with pre-installed software

If you buy a computer with an integrated DVD player, it may come with its own DVD player software. Because Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 do not support DVD playback, computer manufacturers will add support software before packaging the product.

First you need to find the integrated DVD player software. If you have a computer manual, you can find instructions for playing the DVD in it or search the manufacturer's website to see the DVD player / media software they have installed.

Another way to find software is to open the Windows search bar and type movies or DVDs . Or if you're lucky enough to put the DVD in your computer's drive, the software will start automatically.

Once you have identified the pre-installed software you can easily play DVDs.
