My Windows 8 Pro volume license version does not have "Add Features" therefore cannot install media center. What should i do ,now. Tuesday, April 2, PM. Windows 8 Enterprise does not have the ability to install the Windows Media Center add-on. Please review: Windows 8 Editions Carey Frisch. Wednesday, April 3, PM. Can we copy over the relevant exe and dlls to repair this feature, if so this could be a simple hotfix really No you can't.
Not sure if doing so would violate any licence but I can say that doing simply results in a message saying "You cannot upgrade this version of Windows" It seems it would be possible to activate a Windows 8 Pro retail installation with a VL key.
Thursday, November 8, PM. I have unproposed this "answer" yet again, since it is not in fact an answer. Aside from saying the upgrade pack cannot be used, no answer has been supplied. Can someone from Microsoft please supply answers to the questions asked in this thread. Tuesday, November 13, AM. Friday, November 16, AM. Friday, November 16, PM. Nothing new, just adding my weight: I installed Windows 8 Pro Upgrade on my home PC and then obtained the free until the end of the year add-on of Windows Media Centre - that's just fine.
I then tried unsuccessfully to obtain MS Media Center. Anyone know of a way around this or if it, what is a reasonable alternative to MS Media Center? Saturday, November 17, AM. Where do you suggest I, legally, get the retail ISO from. Monday, November 19, AM.
This isn't really helpful. Sorry I only wanted to help. Monday, November 19, PM. Hi, I suggest to contact our Customer Service for further help.
Friday, November 23, AM. John Kennedy. Edited by jrk36 Friday, November 23, AM. John Kennedy I second this statement. I've already contacted customer services, and got nowhere. Friday, November 23, PM. I would really like a response on this as well. I've upgraded my system from 7 pro vl to 8 pro vl and have since lost functionality. This should never be the case when you are "upgrading". Monday, November 26, AM. I fully agree with gjf8 - surely there is someone at MS who can offer an authoritive response.
Monday, November 26, PM. To workaround this, reinstall the windows with a Retail Media or install a new fresh Retail Media ; install the media center feature and then activate the Media Center using the media center key Thanks. Tuesday, November 27, PM. I have a TON of stuff installed and running already and would hate to have to do a fresh install. Edited by jkr36 Tuesday, November 27, PM.
Bottom line is that while poorly communicated this is by design. Wednesday, November 28, AM. Unfortunately, no. Windows 8 Comparison Chart Carey Frisch. I work for a school district and use Windows 8 Enterprise with SA. I am in a very similar situation. Edited by jrk36 Wednesday, November 28, AM. Anyone know if I can change my 7 Ultimate to 7 Enterprise without a complete reinstall? Surprisingly enough this is possible. I'll be sure to give it a go in the near future.
Everything I found in my procrastination time this afternoon Glad to help Ian. To workaround this, reinstall the windows with a Retail Media or install a new fresh Retail Media ; install the media center feature and then activate the Media Center using the media center key Thank you very much for this as it is the most clear answer anyone from MSFT have yet provided.
Hi Aaron, However I'm still a little unclear on something here. I look forward to your response. Monday, December 3, PM. VL comes from various subscriptions and services such as Campus and Select agreements. Campus agreements are specifically intended for production use as are others so there's plenty of legitimate ways to have Windows 8 Pro VL in production use. Friday, December 7, AM. Thursday, December 13, AM. Carey Frisch. Thursday, December 13, PM. Friday, December 14, AM. Aaron, this makes no sense.
Tuesday, December 18, PM. I do not understand any of this, it is like Microsoft does not want people to upgrade.
Wednesday, December 19, AM. Thursday, December 20, AM. This make it a very easy decision not upgrade to Windows 8. This is a ridiculous move by Microsoft to save 2 dollars per license. Monday, December 31, PM. Tuesday, January 1, AM. Thursday, January 3, PM.
