ALL: Windows 10 DVD Doesn't Play? 02/03/17

Dilemma:
Do you have a new teacher or even a personal computer with Windows 10?
When you try to play a DVD, it doesn't play?

Here's why?
Microsoft removed the license to play DVDs when they released Windows 8 and 10. There is a licensing cost to play DVDs, and Microsoft decided not to charge everyone to play DVDs when fewer users were playing DVDs each year. So, they decided to make that an add-on. 

What can you do to play a DVD on a Windows 10 computer?
Here are two options:

1. Purchase the add-on at approximately $15 per computer
2. Use a free open-source version of the add-on that can be downloaded at this website: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
