@i430VX posted a very handy video which may help you out here

I mean, you're not forced to use Windows 10 on your new laptop. Linux always exists.

1. to unpack wmp11-windowsxp-x86-enu.exe (WinRAR or 7zip) 2. start in turn: umdf.exe , wmfdist11.exe , wmp11.exe 3. reboot WMP can be used to view Youtube in a browser on very slow computers

Seems like a bad opinion for someone in the world of old OSes. From a fundamental definition, Old OSes as a whole, and their respective hardware and a significant portion of the software, are indisputably obsolete, as newer things have come along to do the same things the old ones did for almost all scenarios. But nobody here cares, And that's a good thing. Granted, I do think WMP11 is a truly terrible piece of software, but that has nothing to do with obselence. To be fair, i think we should be respecting his request of a solution to the issue he faces with WMP11, rather than telling him to use something else (even i am guilty of it). If people here cared about obselescence we'd all be on the 'latest and greatest' OSes on brand new hardware, running the latest versions of any and all software.

Word 97. Here we have it open a 30 MB, 90 page long document on a Windows 98 computer from 2000. Word 97 has many tripwires, but once these are mastered, it can be used as a layouting program for big projects. Downsizing images (to 256 colours for example) is a key to use it on slow computers. Even after 22 years of using Word 97, I still improve and find out new things. Oh, by the way, Word 97 can be installed on Windows 10, too!
