I am using 32 bit windows 10 OS nd the setup fails.
PLEX MEDIA PLAYER WIN 32BIT 64 BIT
But you shouldn’t have to cough up money for a new OS on perfectly working machine if you don’t have too. The download PMP windows has determined that I have 64 bit arch and doesn’t give me an option to get the 32 bit verssion. The fact that XP is completely unsupported by Microsoft does pose a security threat though. While they ARE very different types of OSes, there is nothing INHERENTLY more secure about a MacOS. MacOS’s could be just as much as a security issue if the hackers felt it was worth their time to write malware for them (and they do, it’s just not as prevalent). But Microsoft is only a security issue due to the fact it has a lion’s share of the personal PC market. In fact, using an older general purpose PC for a simple specific purpose (like media player) is a great way to breathe new life into an old system. That being said, you were probably just reacting to the criticisms of people flaming you for wanting to use an old machine (XP or an old MacOS). It job is not to bring ‘technology features’ (which as an OS it actually does)…it sounds like the ‘bloatware’ you complain about is what you want to see more of, more useful built in apps.īut as you said, running YouTube and your media player, etc is all the job a Windows 10 or XP computer SHOULD do. That’s because the job of an OS is to be an OS…it’s the interface between you, your hardware and your applications.
