• You simply need an Internal Desktop DVD Writer, no special numbers or such. Any software is already included with HP and the Drivers will either be included in or disc, most are automatically downloaded when installed and the computer is turned back on. Or I would even Recommend a Blu-Ray/DVD Writer. It is not a hard install, it does require moving the side panel and the front panel, and the drive slides in, can't remember if i had to remove the bracket screws on the drive for installation or not. The front panel simply pops off, the tabs are visible once the side panel is removed. you could always get an an external drive that hooks up via USB too.

  I would recommend:
