    Yes, it's pretty straight forward to replace the DVD drive with a Blue Ray...

    @rochep and @djeeno

    I would suggest buying an external USB 3.0 BD or DVD instead of installing an internal one. This is particularly good if you have multiple PCs.

    Nowadays, people use DVD/BD less than before. No need to go through the hassel of installation and finding the proper connector for the drive.

    The drive used in those models is a pretty standard slimline drive. There should have been little bracket parts included in the box.
