It's surprising the number of people who find it difficult to use or don't know about the free downloads of the Windows OS. Although you might think that the software you want to download is free, you'll be disappointed when you actually find out the truth. Many times when people download software on the internet, they end up being sold to others. To fix this problem, Plex Software offers a paid version of their popular application. You can download the software to get a taste of what's on offer before you decide if you want to pay for the application. The free software has more than 300 of the main file types included, including movies, songs, photographs, and video clips. You can download software to play the Plex Media Player, which makes it a great media center, and the free versions have many add-ons to help enhance your entertainment experience. The free version of Plex also comes with many free games, so you can test drive the application for free to see how it works. Most applications come with some sort of installer and set up instructions. The installation process can take up to ten minutes, depending on the software that you download. Some people end up having to reboot their computer, but this is typical in all installations. After installing, you can begin to stream your media, using the free versions of Plex, which is quite powerful. Although the free versions of Plex are similar to the paid versions, there are some major differences. You might find that the free version doesn't have the ability to share, in which case you'd have to purchase the service to enable this feature. Furthermore, the free versions of Plex are limited, because they can only handle a couple of files at a time.
