Where do you live (country)?

 

You need this part:

 

Blu-ray ROM DVD±R/RW SuperMulti DL Drive with LightScribe 516352-001

 

Part on US eBay:

See p. 4-7 of the manual for "how-to":

 

Manual

 

Very easy upgrade. You will need Blu-Ray player software. Windows Media Player will not play Blu-Ray disks and Power DVD and other media suites generally need a paid Blu-Ray plugin. VLC media player can be configured free to play Blu-Rays. If your screen is 1366 x 768 you will not really see a difference between Blu-Ray and DVD movies.
