You're very welcome.

 

You shouldn't need any software to play music.

 

If you plan on watching movies, you would need to download the free VLC player from the Microsoft Store.

 

No drivers are required for DVD's or CD players as they are included in Windows.  Have been since Windows 2000 came out in 1999.
