My version came with Windows dvd player installed.
Some did, some did not. Mine came with some funky default program called Smart Audio. It does play a video decently, but lags.
Finally found a shortcut to Windows Media Player in program files, but had to install it from there and download the codecs.
Looking for something better still. I will give the program dun suggested a try.
I did the w10 download back when MS was prompting all W7 users to install it last year, didn't like it much and went back to W7 until I had to get a new computer last week when my 5 year old laptop HD bit the bullet.
I do NOT like MS Edge and have never liked Bing as a search engine. As soon as I had imaged my HD and set up backup, created a restore point and bootable restore disk, I downloaded Chrome browser. Edge, which is just a glorified IE browser, is chock a block full of ads. Oddly enough, IE11 is also listed in 'programs' but not installed as default browser as it would have been in any other new OS release.
Why, Edge decided to place the bookmarks/favorites over on the right top of the page instead of over on the left side where it's been since Win3.11 and Win95 is beyond me.
After barely getting all my pictures off the old laptop before the HD quit completely, I'm now backing up data daily to a 1tb Western Digital Passport external hard drive via USB.
