If it does, is it the same as on Win 7 or improved or what?

I have a laptop that came with Win 7 Pro and Win 8.1 but have not
installed the Win 8.1. I have my desktop media PC running Win 7 Pro
also and would consider upgrading to Win 8.1 if Media Center is there.

I heard that Win 10 will NOT have Media Center. Why and do they supply
something different to replace it?

What to do?


You can add Media Centre to Win8:

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/w.../feature-packs

Looks like it will cost you $9.99
...
If you have 8.1 Pro


So the price is then

Upgrade from Win8 (Core/Home/NoName) to Win8 Pro
Media Center purchase for $10

The kit is called "Pro Pack" and is $100 total.

And Windows 10 is supposed to get some DVD CODECs
so we can play commercial DVD titles. And there
won't be any other Media Center capability.
