Windows 7/Windows XP:
Should work fine, we recommend you use Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player, which are both built in to these operating systems.
Windows 8:
Windows 8 standard does not include Windows Media Player, so we recommend either an upgrade to Windows 8 Pro, or downloading the free VLC media player. Any browser can be configured to work with VLC.
Windows 8 Pro includes Windows Media Player and will play Bates videos through Internet Explorer or other browsers.
