T420 blu-ray software advice?

I recently installed a blu-ray combo drive (42T2617) in my T420. It reads CD's, DVD's and blu-ray disks, but I cannot play blu-ray movies in windows media center. Is there any thinkpad software for watching blu-ray movies?
I have clean installed windows 7 pro 64bit, and changed from legacy to UEFI, but I have access to my SWTOOLS, in another drive in case there is a solution in there :/

There isn't. You have to get a 3rd party player such as TotalMedia Theater or PowerDVD. You can also use VLC, but you would also need to use something like AnyDVD HD to cut out the DRM.

Thank you for your advice! I'm glad to say that Arcsoft's TotalMedia Theater works fine!
