"I want to buy a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 and then watch the iTunes movies on it. Since Surface Pro 4 is an outstanding portable digital media player with its 12.3-inch display. However, I know from my friends that movies, video, TV shows purchased from iTunes stores are locked with Apple's DRM protection. So does any program can help me to transfer movies from Mac iTunes to Microsoft Surface Pro. Which is the best and an easy-using software program? Please help. PS. I am a mac user." vina asked on Microsoft Community.
If you have the same problem with vina. Microsoft Surface Pro 4 allows you to install the iTunes on it, and then sign in with your Apple ID. And all the movies you buy or rent will appear for you to watch. If you have content stored locally on the Mac, then you would need to transfer it over using a flash drive or USB hard drive.
The above solution is suitable for the iTunes purchased or iCloud movies. If users rented the movie from iTunes Store or want to watch iTunes movies on Microsoft Surface Pro directly without iTunes, what should we do?
As niva said, purchased movies, Rentals, TV shows got from iTunes stores are locked with Apple DRM protection.
