the dell had win7 and everything was fine. went to win10 and the DVD disappears.

in win 10, i start with a fresh boot, then, the DVD drives shows up in explorer. eject the dvd, it disappears in explorer. put in another DVD, it doesn't re-appear. i've gone through device manager and uninstalled the DVD driver, re-booted and the DVD appears again. eject the disc, it again disappears no matter what DVD you put in it. i've also updated the bios, but same result.
what is my next move?
thanks!

Check that it is not something in the present OS. Download Puppy Linux "Precise" and test the DvD drive to determine that it functions correctly.

If not, a possibility is to update the DvD Drive's firmware. (Search the manuafacture's site for firmware updates.)

Check "videohelp" website for solutions.: https://www.videohelp.com/

Also Study the forums below and try some of the recommended procedures (eg, uncheck "hide empty drives" option, power performance option change, registry key changes, etc.).

+1 for driver issue. Try swapping sata cable with another one. Also plug into different sata port on MB.
