To download Netflix movies on a laptop, the official Netflix app from the Microsoft Store must be used, as downloading from a browser is not supported anymore. Users should:
- Open the Microsoft Store, download and install the Netflix app.
- Sign in to the Netflix app with an active account.
- Search for movies or shows that have the download icon (a downward arrow).
- Click the download icon next to the movie or show to start downloading.
- Access downloaded content in the "Downloads" section of the app for offline viewing.
However, Netflix has removed the download feature from the latest Windows app versions, so if that feature is missing, users can either use an older version of the Netflix app that supports downloads or use third-party software like MovPilot Netflix Video Downloader to save movies offline on laptops, which bypasses restrictions and saves in MP4 format. This means that for Windows laptops, the simplest official method is to use the Netflix app downloaded from Microsoft Store if it still supports downloads on that version, or resort to third-party tools for offline viewing. Mac laptops don't have a native Netflix app with downloading capabilities, so third-party tools are recommended there. In summary:
- Use the Netflix Windows app from Microsoft Store for direct downloads if available.
- Alternatively, use third-party downloaders like MovPilot for offline Netflix viewing on laptops.
- Downloads are not possible directly in web browsers.
This ensures the best offline Netflix movie experience on laptops.
