But will need Edge and a Kaby Lake processor. Netflix will make streaming of movies and series in Ultra HD / 4K available on Windows 10. But you are going to need a computer with a Kaby Lake CPU, a HDCP 2.2 4K display and will be limited to the Edge browser to view the content.



Why this only works on Edge is a mystery to me, on the video processing side of things Intel did make a few new enhancements with Kaby Lake. Kaby Lake is the one processors series that will support 4k Streaming though html5 and say the Edge web-browser. Kaby Lake supports the h265-codec (accelerated of 4K content at 10-bits / h265) and hdcp 2.2. Kaby lake simply has a new decoding engine compared to previous generations.
