Elektron Musical Instruments

Just a quick question, in deciding whether to get a beta mono I've 
been searching the yahoo site on how to update to OS to make sure a 
basic computer person like myself could do it.  I have found 
reference that this can be done with the windows media player, which 
would be great since I don't do any sequencing on computer and am not 
familiar with it.  Any suggestions on settings or the path taken to 
enable me to do this would be appreciated.  Sorry if this is a basic 
question, I really want to get a mono!!!  :)
