Asus makes a decent, inexpensive external drive. I use this one:ASUS External Slim 8X DVD-RW Stylish Cut Design Optical Drive SDRW-08D2S-U/BLK/G/AS

Yes, since this laptop contains "4 x USB 2.0 ports" and the DVD is external via USB it should work fine and the OS will recognize the USB connection and should install proper driver.

This external DVD will work fine with any PC or laptop with an USB connection. So if your laptop has an USB connection (2.0 or 3.0) everything will be fine. Win 7 will find and install the driver for it.

There is no internal optical drive. If you want to play discs on this laptop you need to get an external dvd player.

Yes connecting a USB external DVD is the best way to install an OS like windows or Linux. I recommend W7 64-bit or W8.1 64-bit

I don't have the same dvd drive that you have, but I do have two different drives removed from broken laptops ( 1 - HP, the other not sure who was the manufacturer. By plugging into USB port on my Acer laptop, I can boot to a bootable CD/DVD.

There is no CD and DVD in the laptop so the laptop does not have an opening in which a CD/DVD can be inserted. But what could be done is that the items on the CD/DVD can be put on a USB flash drive so that they could be used on the laptop.

No. DVD/CD rw only. I wouldn't recommend blue day on this laptop..just my opinion. You will not get optimal video quality because of the display. I guess you can always output to an external display but I still think it is less than ideal. Hope this helps.

You could, if you bought an optical drive separate to put in this laptop. Ordered as-is, it doesn't come with an optical drive (CD or DVD-Rom).

You can download the software from Microsoft and use the key that came with your disk. I happened to own a Sony DVDirect drive that I am using as an external drive for my MSI. If I wanted to, I could also set up another of my computers to share its drive over my network. Lastly, portable USB dvd drives are pretty cheap now and work really well with the MSI.
