I have an HP laptop with Windows 10 and this does not recognize that there's anything in the CD drive. I'm shown that there's nothing in the CD drive even though I have taken the CD out twice and put it back in and opened and closed the CD drive several times
For what reason does my laptop not recognize the Blu-ray Disc?
Because you have no br drive but only dvd.
As a rule, computers / laptops only have one DVD drive. BluRay is not supported!
Then this may just be a normal CD / DVD drive. That can't do anything with a Blu-Ray… ☺☻☺☻☺
