Product: TP01-2234
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I just purchased a desktop from Best Buy, a model TP01-2234. I noticed that it doesn't come with an optical drive, but looks as though it can accept an optical drive, but not the typical type. I would like to know what kind of drive that I need in order to utilize this slot. I would like to put in a BluRay drive, but like I said, I don't know what kind that I am shopping for.

@Lovedoc-TX,

 

Welcome to our HP User Forum!

 

Btw, your model HP Pavilion Desktop TP01-2234 PC (318G6AA) as per: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c07929809, specifies: "Optical drive not included".

 

As per: https://partsurfer.hp.com/partsurfer?searchtext=L67841-001, there is a TP01 DVD RW drive.  I found one of these TP01 DVD RW drives for sale via eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125423779197?hash=item1d33d6fd7d:g:CRYAAOSwS7Ri1ygY&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAAwG....


But honestly, if I were you, I would purchase/use an external Blu-ray drive, such as found here, for example: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+blu+ray+drive+external&crid=UCUB1817RKYS&sprefix=usb+blu+ray+drive%2C....

 

Hope this was helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
