Netflix streaming works on almost any computer, as long as you have a high-speed Internet connection: 0.5 megabits per second is the bare minimum, but Netflix recommends 5Mbps for HD video. If you’re not a subscriber yet, join with the Start Your Free Month link on Netflix’s home page. As of publication, a basic subscription costs $7.99 per month, while a standard plan including HD video and up to two simultaneous streams costs $8.99. After joining, you can watch videos on a PC using either the website or the Windows 8 app. Sign in and select a profile. Profiles keep your viewing history separate from other people in your household. To make a new profile, click Add Profile and enter a name. The Search bar also works to search for genres or actors. After a TV show ends, Netflix automatically plays the next episode after a few seconds, unless you click Back to Browse. Pick a TV show or movie’s image to see its information, select an episode and start playing. Writer Bio
