    There's a separate forum for Windows 8 support.

    No, the current W10 Groove app doesn't work on any W8.1 system because it uses a different set of UWP libraries. While you can run 8.1 Store apps on W10, it won't work in the other direction.

    Thanks. Is it any other player that works like that app? It was fast to load. When Play store don't work in 8.1 it is hard to find.

    For W8.1, I would recommend VLC Media Player. While it's missing a fancy folder browser interface, VLC opens and plays any video file very quickly. Any this software is fairly popular, so you can always find help.
