Initially the Kodi team worked with Microsoft in order to help develop their application converter software and the process to use it. After that, Kodi v16 was converted flawlessly. Then the Kodi team worked on making the Kodi v17 beta available on the store, and that's the one you can download now. Once you do that, your Kodi version will always be updated with the latest main stable version, though it cannot be used on mobile devices yet. If you want to try this, and already have Kodi installed, your addons and databases will be upgraded to v17. Because of this, you should make sure to backup your userdata first. You can install the best Kodi movies addons after you upgrade, to enjoy the best content from Kodi, and stop worrying about having to download the latest version on your Windows device!
