Hi James,

The answer depends on whether you have an optical drive capable of reading Blu-ray discs.

There are various free utilities that will provide information on the capabilities of your drive. The following link provides 5 such tools.

Unfortunatey you don't have a drive that supports Blu-ray. If it was capable of reading Blu-ray then BD-ROM would have been checked under read features.
