Yes i know, but, if you had Media Center in Windows 7 ,8 or 8.1 you can get a DVD player in Windows 10. though you don't get Media Center back.
Oh I missed that, it will carry through in an upgrade?

Yes. There are instructions out there on what you should do before you upgrade to windows 10 if you want to ensure that you get the free DVD player.

Oh cool, that's not super awesome, but it is better than I thought.

The flip side of that is - if your computer came with a DVD drive, it probably came with some software for playing DVDs. You should still be able to use that software in Windows 10.

Never software that you would want installed, though.

I don't use a DVD player anymore in a computer. Between Amazon Prime, Hulu and Netflix there is no reason to have a dvd for anything. And if I do at some point need one I have an external one around somewhere I could use.

Neither do I, I don't have any machines with DVD drives either. But for average users, for your parents or the neighbours or whatever, having the computer play DVDs was a fairly normal thing, I think.

Business computer users and gamers, not so much.

Also have the playstation and xbox360 as well.

There are some movies on Netflix that are only available as a DVD, not possible to stream them...

Lots in fact. My dad actually has that DVD service from them still.
