Windows 10: Windows Media Player codecs for XP not 10 Op system.

Trying to watch videos downloaded but WMP 11 says I can't. Have it downloaded and it runs most audio and some video, but not some downloaded or from the past. I am running XPhappy , but I keep getting the error box trying to watch trailers and online down loads. Is there a way to run the videos from my external to tower using Win11 MP without upgrading my whole op system? I have a Dell 4700 from 2004 P4 HT system with 3 GB ram and 80 GB harddrive. Help, please? Cause I save these for video editing purposes and can't use my software for that reason cause I can't see the video.
