Quote My PC has an older I7 Intel CPU not 7th Gen. But I do have a Nvidia 1060 Video card with Play-ready 3.0 support. I can with Windows 10 Edge browser view Netflix Ultra HD 4K content. So my question is if i buy the Pioneer Ultra HD 4k Blu-Ray PC drive and upgrade my powerdvd 16 Ultra to 17 Ultra will I be able to play any of my Ultra HD 4K Blu-Ray movie discs on my PC (without the 7th Gen CPU)? Has anyone tested this to verify it will work?

No, it will not work. Read the minimum requirements for UDH BD playback. Downnload the Advisor from PowerDVD product page and check for yourself. Currently no GPU can pass the test. With your HW you will hardly pass two or three of the requirements. Unless all the results are green, PDVD17 will not playback UHD BD.

Your responce does not explain why I can watch Netflix 4K Ultra HD content with Windows 10 Edge Browser without the 7th Gen CPU.
