    Will you be able to play dvds using VLC when upgrading to W10 release or will it only allow unencrypted dvds to be played? I know Microsoft will remove dvd player feature for windows media player.

    Sorry, if I asked before.

    will I be able to Play DVDs on my laptop using Windows 10 new upgrade

    Don't know how the previous response was supposed to help with the question you asked, so here's a proper answer:

    There is no Media Centre included in Windows 10, so you will need 3rd party software such as the OpenSource application VLC Player, which is available via the Microsoft Store.

    Hope that helps.

    will I be able to Play DVDs on my laptop using Windows 10 new upgrade

    I have reserved a free copy of Windows 10 but I am concerned about losing the ability to watch DVDs and burn CDs & DVDs using Windows media center.

    I have read that Windows Media Center will not be available on the New windows 10, if true what is the alternative? I would like to use Window 10 but do not want to lose an important application .

    Thanks

    Not sure, but it works now so I don't see why it wouldn't work after release.

    Hi there

    It does work - however here's a nice little program if you want to stream a DVD to a remote device without all the de-cryption / regionalisation conversion.

    Grab it while it's still FREEWARE.

    MAKEMKV -- rips your DVD to mkv which you can play on the computer in any case and also stream to remote devices. (If you prefer mp4 then the mkv can be converted losslessly to mp4 by any program you care to name --Handbrake is as good as any for this purpose).

    MakeMKV - Download

    HandBrake: Downloads


    Cheers
