    No longer recognizes CD/DVD drive


    Since receiving the Win 10 Home upgrade my computer no longer recognizes the DVD drive. It doesn't show in Device Manger or in the device list in This PC although it does spin up if you insert media into it. I've tried all the suggested remedies except messing with the registry and nothing works. This is one of several problems I've had with device drivers since the upgrade.

    Windows 10 Home 64 bit
    AMD FX-4130 3.80Ghz
    8Gb Installed memory

    Windows 10 upgrade and my old Dell printer will no longer work - not recognized

    Dell 946 all in one printer- says there is no communication between my laptop and the printer.

    Original title: Dell 946 all in one printer

    I installed Windows 10 yesterday and it took 3 hours to get the computer to recognize my Dell 946 all in one printer. It now recognizes it but says there is no communication between my laptop and the printer. I have tried all of the recommended steps (disconnecting
    and reconnecting everything, turning off and restarting both printer and laptop) and the same message comes up. Any suggestions? Thanks
