    windows media center in windows ten

    Don't confuse Windows Media Player with Windows Media Center. Windows Media Center is the issue in this thread. Windows 10 will not include Windows Media Center.

    Windows 10 upgrade from Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center.

    Is Media Center supported in Windows 10?

    No. Persons who need to use Media Center should consider carefully before upgrading from their previous version of Windows. The Windows 10 upgrade will automatically remove any installations of Media Center.

    So what are the alternatives if I need Media Center?

    Your best option is to continue running your existing version of Windows with Media Center.

    • Windows 7 editions that include Media Center will continue to be supported until January 2020.
    • Windows 8 Pro with Media Center will continue to be supported until January 2023.
    Will Windows Media Center be available in Windows 10?

    Windows Media Center is not part of Windows 10 and won’t be available after upgrading to Windows 10. If you use Windows Media Center, we will alert you during upgrade that Windows Media Center is not available on Windows 10. We know that some users use Windows
    Media Center to play DVDs, and we are providing a free DVD playback app in Windows 10 for Windows Media Center users.

    That method does not work anymore and it would have disabled future updates plus WMC did not really work. At this point it des not work at all. I really hope they keep it in Win 10.

    I did not try it on 9926 but I did on a previous build. It installs, creates a tile and sets a folder called 'eHome' in the Windows folder but the program will not run.
    You have to use your WMC key to get it but then it changes your Windows version to 'Window 8.1 Pro With Media Center' and you will forfeit future updates for Build 9926.

    The key will not work in 9926. They disabled that a long time ago.

    Does this mean we won't be able to get the Media Center in Windows 10 for us with 8.1 Pro with Media Center?

    We wouldn't know until MS announces something about it. Win 10 is far from completion.

    I'm not altogether sure MS is even going to continue WMC. There's plenty of apps to play DVD's and WMP supports plenty of file types.
