In the case of XP we're talking about a product that is five generations old - to continue support for XP would cost money and dilute resources available to support more recent OSs. 'We do not want to have to pay high money for a new PC when the PC that we have is fully workable computer.'Īs previously noted, a PC that's more than 8 years old is increasingly susceptible to serious hardware failures. 'I wanted to download iTunes and Apple Music for listening to music.' New PCs meeting your needs don't cost a lot - neither my primary home system (Dell micro desktop) or my personal laptop (HP Stream 13) cost much more than $200. While there are alternatives to iTunes as generic music players, I'm not aware of any that support Apple Music. 'Windows 10 users are reporting serious problems with Apple's products' Apple Music requires iTunes 12.2 or later which in turn require Windows 7 or later. Personally I've had no issues with iTunes on Windows 10, or heard of any encountered by family members / friends / co-workers, and based on evidence from here and elsewhere I've no reason to think that users encounter more issues with Windows 10 than they have with previous editions of Windows. Thanks for the answer hhgttg27 and Marvin Martianul.

The above iTunes download link resulted in an error. Any other iTunes download links that will work on Windows XP? Our PC is over 8 years old and operates and works quite well on a daily basis.

I find Microsoft's decisions to end support and updates for Windows XP confusing for those whose PCs work, only for Microsoft decided to discontinue Windows XP operating system.
