Hardware Requirements and System Hardware Support
Media Hardware
- Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, and Ultimate Editions support Windows Media Center, which allows the computer to become part of a full entertainment system. This can include music devices, TV, game consoles such as the Xbox 360, and online entertainment such as Internet TV.
- Media, such as music, videos, and pictures stored on a computer, are accessible remotely from
another computer, even if it isn't in the same location. A remote Windows 7 computer can access the
media stored on the home system and stream it over the local network, or Internet, using Windows
Media Player 12. Windows Media Player 12 is the default media player application in Windows 7.
