Downloading Netflix Movies & TV Series for Offline Viewing on Windows 10 Devices

It could be licensing limitations, geo-restriction, a problem with your device or it does not support your computer’s current operating system version. Downloadable Netflix titles have the Downloads icon or the down-arrow symbol beside them.
