Product: HP Laptop PC 15s-fq2000 (2D120AV)

I would like to connect an external Blu-Ray compatible CD/DVD reader/burner to my HP Laptop 15, but would like to know what software I need to add, if any, to ensure it works for playing Blu-Ray discs, as well as burning CD's and such.

 

Any helpful suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!

Hi:

 

You should be able to use the free VLC media player from the Microsoft Store to play DVD and Blu Ray disks.

 

VLC - Microsoft Apps

 

I use the free CD Burner XP program to burn DVD's and CD's.

 

CDBurnerXP: Downloads

 

Download the 64-bit version without InstallCore

Thank you, Paul!  I feel better about purchasing an external device, now.  I'll give it a go and let you (and the Community) know how it turns out.  🙂
