  1. How can I get the SYNC tab to show up on my Legacy version of the Media Player?


    I have a Lenovo Idea Pad 3 with Windows 11. I have followed all the settings adjustments from prior posts to get the Sync tab back in my player. It says I already have the "legacy" player, where is the sync tab?

    :)

    Windows Legacy Media Player -> Windows Media Player 12

    Found a description of how to upgrade the Windows Legacy Media Player to Windows Media Player 12, viz:

    1. Click the Start button, type features, and then select Turn Windows features on or off.
    2. Expand Media Features and see whether the Windows Media Player check box is selected. If it is, clear the check box.
    3. Click OK and then restart your PC. This will remove your current version of Windows Media Player.
    4. After your PC has restarted, repeat step 1.
    5. Expand Media Features and select the Windows Media Player check box.
    6. Click OK and then restart your PC. This will reinstall the latest version of Windows Media Player for your system (Windows Media Player 12, with a few exceptions).
    Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work for me. Keeps REINSTALLING the Legacy Media Player.

    Am I doing something wrong. Is there a better way. Couldn't find a place to DOWNLOAD Media Player 12.
