Your PC does not come with a DVD drive.

 

Hardly any PC comes with a DVD drive anymore.

 

What you see there is a filler blank where the optional DVD drive would have gone.

 

If you look in Windows 'This' PC, you will not see a CD/DVD device listed there, just a storage drive.

 

I use a portable USB DVD-RW drive when I have the need to use a DVD drive in any of my PC's that don't come with one.
