Your data is contradictory. The specs you listed clearly show “Vista Home Premium” then right below you claim it’s “Vita Basic” (sic). Either would come with a working DVD drive though LOL.
Thanks for the catch, I cant figure how I missed that. It is indeed home premium so you would have to add 169 for ultimate or 119 for business..
Getting DVDs to work in Ubuntu is simply a matter of checking a box in the settings, which causes Ubuntu to automatically download a decoder that allows DVDs to play. The only reason it’s not enabled by default is so that the user has to explicitly acknowledge some agreement by clicking that box.
