Re: [MERGED] Windows 8 discussion
I have misplaced my disc for my USB Samsung Blu-Ray player, and I cannot play BRs on the installed Cyberlink DVD player.
Until then can anybody recommend a free player that supports BR?

The 8.1 upgrade has been pulled apparently, due to it bricking some of MS's Surface tablet thingys
