Method 1: Play DVD with VLC on Windows 10
You have to know that the newest version VLC has supported DVD playback. So if you want to play DVD freely on Windows 10, just try VLC. Here's what you need:
- A DVD-ROM drive, either internal or external.
- VideoLAN's VLC desktop software, an open-source (read: free to use) media player that includes support for DVD media. (Note that I don't recommend the VLC app in the Windows Store, which is a separate version that does not support DVD playback.)
During the VLC installation process, make sure "Discs Playback" is selected (it is by default). Once it's installed and running, pop in your DVD, then click Media > Open Disc..., or just press Ctrl-D.
In the window that appears next, click Play -- and then sit back and enjoy. I tested this with, appropriately enough, a DVD of "The Simpsons," and it worked like a charm. Your mileage may vary, of course; there are always potential glitches with DVD regions, video codecs and the like.
But for most folks, this is the free and easy path to DVD nirvana in Windows 10. Thanks for the $15 app, Microsoft, but no thanks - From cnet.com

Besides the method one, you also can try the method two to play DVD for free in Windows 10. You can use a DVD Ripper, like Handbrake to rip DVD to Windows Media Player accepted format- the default media player on Windows. However, Handbrake just works in homemade and unencrypted DVD.
