How to Get HBO Max on Windows
Published on November 27, 2021
The Home Box Office movies and series giant lets the subscribers of its HBO Max on-demand platform watch their favorite content on almost all the popular devices and platforms out there right now. Of course, this also applies to personal computers and other Windows devices, so let's see how to sign up, download, and install HBO Max on Windows.
What Windows Versions Are Supported by HBO Max?
The HBO Max website mentions in the Browsers section that HBO Max can be watched on Mac, PC, and Chromebook browsers, and any PC with Windows 7 or later fits the profile. Using a web browser to watch HBO Max is one of the most simple ways to do it. Just make sure your system (and browser) is up to date before opening HBO Max.
How to Get HBO Max on Windows
- First, open a browser on your Windows device.
- Now, you need to subscribe to HBO Max if you aren't already a customer, follow the prompts on the screen to create your account and finish setting it up.
- If you are already a subscriber, just go to HBO Max website.
- Click log in button on the upper-right corner and enter your HBO Max credentials.
- That is all! You can now play the desired content on your Windows device.
Can You Watch HBO Max in 4K on Windows?
Yes, you can. But to watch HBO Max on Windows in 4K, you need to be an HBO Max ad-free plan ($14.99/month) subscriber. This plan offers movies and series in 4K Ultra HD and HDR 10 (and Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos). That's not unexpected, though, since you have to go for the more expensive subscription to get the best streaming quality with most streaming platforms.
However, we should also mention that in order to watch HBO Max in 4K with Dolby Atmos, you need:
- Display that supports 4K (Dolby Vision or HDR10)
- Sound system that has Dolby Atmos capability
- High-speed internet (25 Mbps or higher, 50+ Mbps is recommended)
- All devices to support HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.
