    after so called UPGRADE to windows 10 dvd not working

    Hi,

    Windows Media Player will no longer play DVDs, or DVD files because of licensing issues... You will need a 3rd party player of some type to play them...

    VLC Media Player, and Media Player Classic are two popular free players, but here are others...

    If you can not play a DVD with one of them, then there are other issues.

    Why cant i watch dvds on my laptop

    Hi,

    What type of Player Program are you trying to use ?

    Windows 10 will not play DVDs without some type of Player installed...

    Windows Media Player and Movies+TV App will not play them...

    You might try the free VLC Media Player...
