Answer 1 :
You can change the drive settings to different regions, but on Windows this is restricted to 5 times in the drive's lifetime. The bes thing to do is buy an external DVD rom drive and set that as region 2, leaving the region 1 set up on the main drive. To change the region, go to the Device Manager, then change the DVD Rom drive region in it's Properties.
Answer 2 :
Probably not, you will need to buy a DVD player that is compatible.
Answer 3 :
It will not work on conventional media player software. I personally use DVD unlocker, which bypasses the region system. There are plenty of them out there if you just google "region free media player"
Answer 4 :
the Dvd should work Dvd's are very basic and as long as you have a Dvd drive on your computer then it should run
