Can I install a BluRay player on an Envy Notebook PC?

Although I just purchased this computer, it obviously is an old model. I only figured this out when I tried to play a Blu-ray (this is 2018), and it wouldn't load. That's because it is only equipped with a SuperMulti DVD burner. 

What do I have to do to replace it with a Blu-Ray burner?

Thank you.

What is your Pavilion 17" ? Please use the following instructions to find out the model/product of your machine:

  Please do NOT post its Serial number (s/n).

It is an HP ENVY Laspton 17" Touch Best Value. That's all the model information I can ascertain at the moment; I also configured it by myself, obviously. If I can provide other information for assistance, please let me know.

Your machine is an HP ENVY Notebook 17t-u000 CTO machine. The following manual (page 1)  says it has ODD specs:

• Support for 9.0-mm tray load, SATA fixed (not modular)
• Support for DVD±RW DL SuperMulti Drive
• Support for zero-power optical drive
• Support M-disc

I can't find 9.0mm BlueRay drive for Envy 17t-u000 laptops. Please check the following parts make sura thickness is 9.0 mm otherwise it won't fit physically.

Page 34 of the manual shows you how to replace the drive.
