Windows 10 and Windows Media Player

Just for fun I was working on a project based on Windows SideShow

Designing the User Experience for the Gadget
Designing the User Experience for the Gadget | Microsoft Learn

I am using VS2013 Professional and not sure I want 2015 for now.

My question is about Windows Form control - VS 2013 axWindowsMediaPlayer.
I saw somewhere that Windows Media Player been relegated to legacy status.

Is this true?

I ask because I see no use continuing development of a application that I cannot use with Windows 10.

This is not a problem, only a general question for those ‘In the know’

Thanks.
