No. There are a number of reasons why internal optical drives are largely unavailable, though they can still be found, mostly (but not exclusively) in "hardened" laptops that look (and weigh) like bricks and are used in construction, emergency situations, and the military. There are a number of reasons for this: 1. Modern laptops (and desktops) are pushing to be smaller and weight less, with many companies advertising their computers as “ultra thin” or “easily portable.” Optical drives significantly add weight (about half a pound) and bulk (12 cm diameter) 2. Even Blu-ray discs top out at 128 GB, far below either HDDs or SSDs on a per-centimeter basis. 3. With the advent of cheap flash storage, fast network connectivity, cloud storage, software distributed via the Internet, and USB 3.0 (and now USB 3.1, and even USB 3.2 soon, doubling the raw link speed to 20 Gbps), integrated optical drives have largely become obsolete.

Additionally, if you wish to install any software from other than the Microsoft Store, you would need to disable the S Mode first. Best Buy sells DVD drives that plug into a USB port on any computer, including this laptop.
