Answer 1 :
You can change the region your DVD player will play from 5 times total, before the drive ceases to work (a firmware thing). So, once you change the region to USA, the answer will be Yes. end of line
Answer 2 :
Yes, as long as you change the region code for the DVD drive itself. Right-click on "My computer" and go to Properties. Find the "hardware" tab and click on "device manager". Alternatively, you can search for "device manager" in the "Help" section and it will link you to it. From the device manager, click the + sign next to "DVD/CD-ROM drive" and find your DVD drive. Right click on the drive, and go to "properties" again. Then go to "region" tab and change the region.
