Windows 10: How to add Media Center to Tech Preview

Discus and support How to add Media Center to Tech Preview in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade to solve the problem; If that doesn't work, do you have an image to restore to? I have images, but they were all made after I got configuring W10, so WMC is part of them... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade' started by Indianatone, Oct 2, 2014.

    I have images, but they were all made after I got configuring W10, so WMC is part of them all. Hindsight being 20/20 I should have created an image right after the upgrade was done, but at that point I didn't think of it. *Sad

    Bummer!

    I just got back online 15 minutes ago from a complete system wipe and fresh install of WTP, (on the SSD I might add!)
    I'm trying to take my time and not make any stupid moves in haste! All good so far.
    I've researched and documented a whack of stuff in the past couple hours but I've got to get my head around it all first and compile it into something presentable!
    Anyway, definitely don't install WMC!

    Before clean install with WMC:

    I'm afraid a clean install is my only choice as well Edwin.

    *Sick

    If it's any consolation, it only takes about 20 minutes! *Redface *Wink

    Document everything and good luck! *Smile

    Thanks for the post now I have to wipe mine too not to bad I installed on a bare metal laptop.
    Will allow me to install without M$ account.

    You're welcome.

    Three observations:
    - DO NOT install WMC
    - not wise to try a watermark removal software
    - and, someone posted about all 'Installed Updates' being wiped out after recovering from an Image File, (but I failed to document that one!)

    I noticed that error too on mine, I don't mind doing another clean install, it's all part of the testing game.

    As per my above post, yes:

    That will uninstall WMC from Win10TP. Then, simply do an upgrade reinstall right over the top of your current Win10 installation and when it concludes you will be right back to the Win10TP default.

    I don't understand the objection to a reinstall--it only takes a few minutes, after all.

    (Sometimes forums can be a gold mine of information--sometimes, but not if you don't read the posts...)

    Hi waltc. Yes I read your post, but since I upgraded to W10 through Windows Update I don't have an ISO file to redo the upgrade. The reason I went that way was that I have a limited amount of data usage per month through my wireless ISP and I was trying to stay under that, so it didn't cost me extra money.

  11. I tried the Windows Media thing and then did a complete clean install to rid of it.
    I really didn't want a Windows 8 water mark.
    I must say the WMP did work properly. I decided to wait until Microsoft update W-10 so we could install WMP the proper way.
