Install Free Cd Dvd Driver

After you upgrade your computer to Windows 10, if your HP CD / DVD Drivers are not working, you can fix the problem by updating the drivers. It is possible that your CD / DVD driver is not compatible with the newer version of Windows.

If you want to re install Windows 10 after obtaining the free upgrade you will find that you loose the free copy of the Windows 10 DVD player you were given for upgrading from Windows 8 Professional With Media Center or Windows 7 Home Premium / Ultimate. In Device Manager, expand DVD/CD-ROM drives, right-click the CD and DVD devices, and then select Uninstall. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, select OK. Restart the computer. From the list of available software and driver categories, click the Firmware category, and then look for any available CD/DVD firmware updates (for example: HLDS CH10L DVD-R/RW drive firmware update). If you find a firmware update, select the ones that apply.
