Blue ray driver

Firmware is housed on the Optical Disc Drive itself. Drivers are housed on the computer, and provide instructions for how the computer communicates with the drive. These instructions may include how to interpret the data that is sent by the drive, what type of data it is, or how to send data to the drive to be burned.

Some legacy devices may use specific drivers, but this is rare. All newer drives are Plug-and-Play compliant, meaning the drivers are already built-in to the computer.

Note: Our newer drives have been tested with Windows 10 and remain Plug-and-Play compliant. Media playback software, such as the Cyberlink Media Suite that comes with our drives, is used to process the data that is sent to the computer from the disc drive. This type of software converts the data into a format that people can understand, such as a video. Due to the codecs used to encode Blu-ray Discs, it is unlikely that these discs will play without installing the correct media software.

Cyberlink Media Suite will allow Blu-ray playback and burning. Firmware updates are released on an as-needed basis, and are available from the product support page specific to your model. I'll find one of my old windows disks and see what happens.
