Win 8 Have Media Center?
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? Thanks. -- -- No signature --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

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. http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/...ctID.288392300 ******* 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. Paul |

If Core, one has to upgrade to 8.1 Pro with the Media Center($99) If Pro, one can to upgrade to 8.1 Pro with Media Center ($10) -- ...winston msft mvp windows experience |
