Got a laptop a year ago. An HP one. It's plays DVDs obviously. Presumably I can upgrade the disc drive to play Blu-ray? Or is it not that simple?
Apologies if this is a stupid question. Not got a clue about computers etc.

Yeah you can, but the fascia on the drive will be different and sometimes the one from the old drive won't fit on the new one if you see what I mean.

you can probably use this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-SATA-HL-CT30P-Blu-Ray-Combo-BD-ROM-DVD-RW-Laptop-Drive-12-7mm-UK-Seller-/150691998667?pt=UK_Computing_Drives_Storage_CD_DVD_Drives_ET&hash=item2315f16bcb
only issue may be the front of the tray not coming off, so conatact a few sellers and find one that will

Not to much help here, but why do you want BR in your laptop? Just curious...
