New HP Pavilion x 2 windows 10 laptop (64 bit) will not operate external usb dvd drive. When the drive is connected it will show up on  the file explorer and disk management but when cd put into the drive it disappears from both and the cd will not play or be displayed to open files.  The dvd drive works perfectly on my PC running windows 7 (64bit). Any help appreciated.
