Windows 10 won't recognize my LG Blu-ray writer

[PurpleGaga27 40]

When I first put this BH10LS30 (that's the LG model) optical drive into my Lenovo rig, both Windows XP and Windows 7 recognized the Blu-ray writer, but when I upgraded my Windows 7 partitioned drive to Windows 10, that new OS won't recognize my LG Blu-ray writer and it's not even mentioned/detected in the Device Manager. I tried troubleshooting and tried searching the hardware and they both don't help. What should I do? The one thing I haven't tried is what I found at the Microsoft help site talking about accessing the registry and modifiy something there.

Try to upgrade firmware:

That's the information I've found. Sounds like some editing in the registry is required. Most of what you will see in the links below mention Windows 8 or 8.1 but the process is the same.

Well I did modify something in the registry that Microsoft had two resolutions for and both of them worked to get my Blu-ray writer get recognized/detected. No need for me to upgrade the firmware because it isn't necessary.
