Playing DVDs on Windows 10
The DVD/Blu-ray playback feature is not available in Windows 10, 8/8.1, and 7*. To play movies or videos on DVD/Blu-ray, you will need to use the Windows DVD Player application, which does not support Blu-ray, or a third-party application.
Watching DVDs without a DVD Player
Alternatively, you can use an alternative strategy: using ISO files or other image files. The concept is simple: save your discs (CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays) as files and then read them directly from your PC. Windows can read and "mount" ISO files as if they were virtual discs.
To watch a DVD on your PC without a DVD player, you can use VLC. It is a free and open-source program that works on both Mac and Windows.
