Solved: How to view dvd on laptop

Anonymous · ‎19-06-2018

I'd like to view a recently bought 1st series of Game of Thrones dvd set on my laptop ... but I don't know where to begin apart from placing the dvd in the slot

I have Windows 10 & an Acer 5750 Aspire laptop

Any help will be gratefully received

Depending on the version of windows, click the start button on screen (or press the windows key on the keyboard).
When the menu comes up, either search for "media" or scroll down to windows accessories and it should be listed in there.

Just put it in and it will play automatically.
Windows media player is most likely your default programme but you can also download Power DVD or VLC player which are both very good media apps.

I use VLC but Windows Media Player is perfectly fine. Insert DVT and it will start playing automatically with all the controls onscreen. You may have to open it to full view.

@Cleoriff I've been going through the FAQ's on the link you provided ... & ... I may need a de-coder?

Cannot see a Windows Media Player 'button' on my laptop screen

I think it's better if I go & find some personal sustinence ... then try again ... thank you again

Is this the PC you upgraded from Win 7 to win 10?

Anyway it WMP should be there. Have a look at how to find it here
