If you are using a genuine copy of Microsoft Windows, you qualify for a Free Download of Windows Media Player. Windows Media Player 11 is the latest version available, and is fully compatible with Windows XP.

Before downloading or installing Microsoft Windows Media Player, you will have to install and run the Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) tool to authenticate your copy of Windows – once authenticated, you can proceed to download and install the Windows Media Player.

Windows XP was shipped with Windows Media Player 8. Windows Media Player 10 is still a very popular download for this operating system, and dates from 2004. The latest edition, version 11, was released in November 2006 for Windows XP, and is built into Windows Vista.
