Hi @phkennedy,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Most modern HP laptops and desktops no longer include a built-in disc drive (CD/DVD), especially models like the HP Laptops, which are designed to be slim and lightweight.

 How to Check If Your HP PC Has a Disc Drive

1. Look at the sides of your laptop:
   • A disc drive slot is usually on the right side.
   • It looks like a thin rectangular tray with a small eject button and a pinhole.
      
2. Check in File Explorer:
   • Open File Explorer (Windows + E)
   • Look for a drive labelled DVD RW Drive (D:) or similar
      
3. Check Device Manager:
   • Press Windows + X > Device Manager
   • Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives to see if any are listed

 If Your PC Doesn’t Have a Disc Drive

You can use an external USB DVD drive:

• Plug it into a USB port
• Windows will auto-detect it
• You can then read/write CDs or DVDs

I hope this helps.

Take care, and have an amazing day!
