There are 1.5 billion Windows devices in the world. However less than 1% of those Windows devices can play native 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs because of the requirement to have a CPU/motherboard that requires Intel based SGX security technology. In the ideal world the Blu-ray Disc Association should develop a secure software solution so that anyone with a Windows 10 operating system can play native 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs. In the ideal world anyone that purchases a external or internal 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray BD-ROM drive should be able to connect that device to any Windows 10 operating system to play their 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray collection.

We do not live in a ideal world, and the Blu-ray Disc Association is missing out on the 1.5 billion Windows devices that have the potential to play 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs with a simple external USB 4K BD-ROM that attaches to the portable Windows device. All that needs to be done is to mandate a secure 4K Blu-ray software solution and drop the SGX hardware security requirement that limits the market to under 1% of Windows consumers. Then with a software solution programs like PowerDVD Ultra would output 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray discs at 2160P resolution for 5 year old PC's, and 1080P resolution for 10 year old PC's (Some 15-20 year old PC's would have 720P resolution when playing 4K Blu-ray). Also with a USB 4K BD-ROM drive connected to a modern Windows tablet PC consumers could see 4K Blu-rays on their large screen 4K quality tablets while traveling.
