Apple TV+ has plenty of decent shows to watch, including Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest, The Morning Show, Severance, and a number of other new ones along the way. While Apple devices come with a dedicated Apple TV+ app built-in, Windows users do not.
That doesn’t mean you should skip it. You’ve always been able to enjoy Apple TV+ shows on the web, and now Apple even has a TV app for Windows PCs.
What is Apple TV+?
Launched in November 2019, Apple TV+ is the company’s TV and movie streaming service, which competes (or complements) Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and other media content providers. The selection of titles is significantly smaller than that offered by its rivals, but Apple has slowly built up a range of interesting bespoke content, often featuring big-name stars like Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell, Will Ferrell, Tom Hanks, Paul Rudd, Tom Holland, and others.

Using the service costs £6.99/$6.99 a month, but there’s also the option to get three months free when you buy a qualifying Apple product. These include any new iPhone, iPad, iPad Touch, Apple TV, or Mac.
There are also various other ways to get a free or discounted subscription to the service, such as when you purchase certain products or if you are a student. We break down the options for all the ways you can get Apple TV+ for free.
If you’re already subscribed to another Apple service, such as Apple Music, it might be worth considering upgrading to Apple One, which offers various bundled combinations of Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple News+, Apple Fitness+, and iCloud. .

How to Watch Apple TV+ on a Windows PC
The easiest way to watch Apple TV+ on a Windows PC is to grab the TV app from the Windows Store. As of this writing, it’s a “preview,” so expect a few bugs, but Apple will likely have a more robust, preview-less app available in the first half of 2023.
If you don’t want to use the app, or can’t for some reason, you can always watch on Windows in a web browser. The same goes for Chromebooks and (we assume) those on Linux distros. Just go to tv.apple.com and you should see the Apple TV+ page with a sign in option in the top right corner.
Click it, enter your Apple ID and password, then you can watch all the content on the platform.
If you don’t have an active Apple TV+ account, you can click the Start your free trial on the home screen and register. The trial period is 7 days, after which you will upgrade to the monthly subscription at £6.99/$6.99.
