So if you want to play MOV videos on non-Apple products, you might find yourself get stuck. It's a wonderful solution to convert MOV to MP4, as MP4 has been one of the most popular formats in the world. Nearly all media players could recognize MP4 format. Check the guide.

Yes, Windows Media Player cannot support MOV. Unless you import some MOV codec for Windows Media Player, then you can play mov videos on Windows Media Player.
1). Add MOV codec and update others exclusively for Windows Media Player:
* Launch WMP and click "Help"-> "About Windows Media Player"-> "Technical Support Information"-> "Video Codecs"to view all the codecs and file formats supported by the respective codec.
* To let Windows Media Player automatically instead of manually download and install updates and codec enhancements from the Internet when available, just follow the easy steps here. Launch WMP and click "Tools"-> "Options"-> "Player" tab -> "Automatic updates".
2) Add MOV codec using 3rd-party program K-Lite Codec Pack.
The installation of K-Lite Codec Pack is quite easy as well. Download it from its official website and follow the instructions there.
You can also try some other free mov players such as Leawo Blu-ray Player, 5Kplayer, DivX Player and so on.
