DVD multi-drive if you want to be specific, the question's a bit strange, optical drives have been standard for a long time, (CD/DVD) they will play any DVD

Felicity Rivers · Answer 2

she should look for DVD-ROM drives

Explanation:

optical drives play both DVDs and CD's as well as blue-ray Discs because they use a laser light to either write or read data from CD's, DVDs and blue-ray Discs. although there are two types of optical drives: the one that plays only CD's and the one that plays DVDs as well as blue-ray Discs.

so to be specific on playing just DVDs she should look to install a DVD-ROM drive in her laptop. or an optical drive capable of writing and reading data from a DVD
