As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.I have a mix of devices from Apple and Windows, so it goes without saying that they don’t get along well.But since my laptop is Windows, I was forced to use the Apple TV website to watch Apple original content and it wasn’t the best experience.All the content was capped at 720p and even that was inconsistent.However, recently Apple finally came around and gave Windows a better way to access Apple TV.You can watch Apple TV on your laptop by downloading the ‘Apple TV Preview’ app from the Microsoft Store. You can also visit the Apple TV website, but this only gives you access to Apple’s original and licensed content.Until recently, you had to visit the Apple TV website to stream content on Windows.Now though, Windows has an official Apple TV app albeit in early stages, so expect a few bugs.Additionally, I’ve noticed the Apple TV app works much better on my iPhone than on my laptop which leads me to believe support outside Apple devices is spotty.But it’s the best alternative available for Windows.The app is supposed to work similar to the Apple TV streaming box in that it organizes various streaming services and runs on multiple platforms.It also allows you to watch content at up to 4K depending on your laptop’s supported resolution.Open the ‘Microsoft Store’ on Windows, search for ‘Apple TV Preview’ and download it.Once it’s downloaded, either login with your Apple credentials or create an account if you don’t have an Apple Id.After logging in, you’ll need to make sure you have an active subscription on Apple TV+ (Streaming service) to watch Apple TV originals and other licensed content.You can also login to other services like Netflix, Hulu and Spotify , but you’ll need individual subscriptions for each of these services and you’ll need to download the apps as well.Remember that if you have iTunes already installed, it won’t work after installing the Apple TV Preview app.This means if you want to listen to your music or podcasts saved on iTunes, you’ll either have to download the ‘Apple Music Preview’ app or uninstall the Apple TV Preview app.If you don’t want to download the app because you use a work laptop or you want to wait for a more stable version of the app, the website is still available.Visit the Apple TV website and login with your Apple credentials to start streaming on your laptop.You can also access the site on Android, but in both cases, you’ll be limited to 720p.While the reason is unknown, devices outside of Apple don’t seem to support 720p on the website.But if you don’t mind the lower quality or you’re trying to watch a quick episode of a show on airport Wi-Fi, it should work well.As long as you’re connected to the same Apple account on all the devices, your streaming history and data will be saved across devices.Considering most laptops have an HDMI output port, it won’t be possible to connect your Apple TV 4K to your laptop.However, there are some laptops such as the Alienware M17 and M18 that have HDMI input and output ports, so if you have these laptops then you can connect your Apple TV 4K.
