How to install HotPlayer on Windows

Follow the steps

1. 1

   Install Hot Player from the Microsoft Store

   Open the Microsoft Store on your PC and search Hot Player, or use the button above to go straight to its page. Click Get and wait for it to install. There is a free trial — after that the playlist licence is bought from HotPlayer.

2. 2

   Open Hot Player

   Launch Hot Player from the Start menu.

3. 3

   Hot Player shows you a device ID

   Hot Player opens and tells you it has no playlist yet, showing a device ID next to the address hotplayer.app/upload. Keep that ID handy — you need it in the next step.

   You can do this in the browser on the same PC — the upload page is a website, not part of the app.
