Internal Blu-Ray drive on Win Vista Home Premium x86?

[Chevy_Monsenhor]

I don't know why , but one of my clients want an HTPC with Vista Home Premium with an internal Blu-ray drive , i told him the best idea would be to run it in Windows 7 , but he wanted at any cost , but i have this question , will his blu-ray drive work on Vista?

If you can find Vista drivers for the blu-ray unit, probably. Im almost certain Microsoft never released any Blu-Ray drivers.

Microsoft ended support for Vista on April 10, 2012. Most companies have followed suite. Most things Vista are slowly but surely disappearing.

You will need additional software to play bluray disks.

You will need additional software to play bluray disks.

Let's say, like VLC?
In this case , it wouldn't be a problem whatsoever...

VLC player will not do it unfortunately.
