Code: winblues14 i would like to add Windows media center to winblues14, anybody know how this is done any enlightments? adding serial number to system panel first says you must first activate Windows, then after Windows activation, the add features says "you cant add features to this edition of Windows" and now?
Yes, agreed, Windows Media Center is on each of my PCs. They each record and control all of my cable television.
don't use leaked betas on systems you actually use. Just asking for trouble. It is for testing purposes it isn't even a final build. You should consider reverting back to your previous setup and use the "winblues14" in a virtual environment.
In Win8.1 you cannot upgrade a volume activated version to WMC. I haven't played with the beta build yet, but you might be able to mount the index and do a /set-editionrofessionalWMC like we do when adding wmc to AIO versions. Full procedure would be something like this: Code: dism /mount-wim /wimfile:c:\win81\sources\install.wim /index:1 /mountdir:c:\mount dism /image:c:\mount /set-edition:ProfessionalWMC dism /unmount-wim /mountdir:c:\mount /commit imagex /flags "ProfessionalWMC" /info c:\win81\sources\install.wim 1 "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" "Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center" If you just want the single index, you could simply export to a new install.wim and cut/paste over old one. If you want to add it as a 3rd index, you'd want to make a duplicate install.wim that is not modified and run this: Code: dism /export-image /sourceimagefile:c:\win81\sources\install.wim /sourceindex:1 /destinationimagefile:c:\temp\install.wim /compress:maximum /checkintegrity where c:\temp\install.wim is your unmodified version. Note that any 8.1+ image modification requires 8.1 preview dism or greater. (adk or the dism included with any 8.1 rtm works fine)
