It's worth repeating that copyrighted music you've downloaded with Zune may not play with Groove if the licenses didn't renew, which is a very real possibility. Of course, just how all of this unfolds depends upon your Zune account, and for the five or six of you reading this who might have one, Microsoft explains it all on its support page. Not to mention, this method may also come in handy for sideloading other Windows apps on Windows 10 and 11. The steps may seem lengthy, but once you understand the basics, it gets pretty easy. Should you decide to just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ at all of this, your Zune account will automatically upgrade to a Groove Music Pass account, which costs $10 a month and gives you access to 40 million songs. So that is how you can install the new Media Player on Windows 11 without having to wait for the release on the stable build. That's the new version of the Zune/Xbox Music Pass, and it doesn't include the 10 free songs you got each month from Zune. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.Of course, DRM content "may not play if the license can't be renewed," Microsoft says, and any Zune Music Pass subscriptions still out there will be converted to Groove Music Pass subscriptions. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver.
