So what's really missing in Windows 10?
Anyone care to add to the list of what's missing in Windows 10?
No DVD drive so no installing all the software you have. No Microsoft office that you paid good money for. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 15. That's no good. Blue-ray disks can't be played. Microsoft doesn't want you to use a DVD drive for some reason. Do they want you to use all new software that phones home from now on? I just don't get it.

This is just a guess but Windows 10 seems to open the recently used files not "this pc" like it did before try clicking on this pc and I think you might find your DVD drive

If you disconnected it, that's your fault, not Microsoft's. No Microsoft office that you paid good money for. Funny, I am able to run Office 2013 quite fine. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 15. That's no good. I have Cyberlink PowerDVD 10 and it works fine. Blue-ray disks can't be played. See above. Microsoft doesn't want you to use a DVD drive for some reason.

Nothing in there.. Well I mean everything is there but the DVD. It obviously worked to install Win10 but now MIA.

Now I have to find out why I'm not seeing it.I don't kn ow where to start. I see it in BIOS but that's it. I plug in a DVD and nothing happens.

You can't blame MSFT if you don't buy/build a PC with a DVD drive in it. I have been using my BD/DVD ever since loading the Tech Preview back in February. And I have loaded an old Office 2007 using a DVD. 2. Office has never been part of Windows so it is always a separate expense. But why can't you reload Office on your device? Is it a bundled OEM version that is only good on a different piece of hardware? 3. I don't use Power DVD on my Windows 10 system so I can't speak to its ability to run under Windows 10. But the Cyberlink web page says it is Windows 10 ready. 4. Is your complaint that you don't have a DVD, or that you need a separate piece of software? Power DVD Pro and Ultra both appear to support BD. There are also many free alternatives to Media Center so you might ask in one of those groups; I don't do a lot of video work on my PC so I am probably not the best person to ask for a recommendation. Regards, Dan

Regards, Dan Cyberlink Power DVD 12 is is installed on my PC, it came with the computer. When I inserted a DVD into the drive, I was immediately given the option of using Power DVD to play the disk. It worked fine. I am also puzzled about the claim in reference to Microsoft Office. I have Office 10 installed and did so prior to updating to Windows 10. It's still there. I also have the "lite" versions of Word 10 and Excel 10 on my laptop, they came installed on it.(Forgive me, I forget what the proper name is for the programs.) With the laptop updated to Windows 10, the programs are still there. Carl

Later today I plan on putting the original Win7 SSD back in the system, cloning it again, and trying the Win10 upgrade again. The drive is seen in BIOS and used to upgrade with so who knows what I'll find.
