    I'll try getting it to Media Center later I have some other stuff I wish to try out concerning the activation.

    Now I see why I hated messing around with DISM testing stuff from it is an utter PITA.

    Just for the record.. if any ov u guys were running win8 pro with media center and upgraded to 8.1 via store, look in your c:\$Windows.~BT\sources and find your install.esd you can add this to your sources on your iso file but delete install.wim for a clean install ov 8.1 pro with media center but u still need an ei.cfg to bypass serial :D after install enter any of your free wmc key and activate:D

    On it correct me if I'm wrong but is the command:

    Dism /Image:C:\Mount /Set-Edition:professionalWMC

    Ok after I get all the stuff I want finalized on the ISO's I've been modding I'll change the edition :p

    Ok Added to my file for changing editions I'll get around to it.

    I want to add the Watermark Removal along with auto activation first. I already have my copy with no expiration so I'm slowly piling on stuff to make sure everything works lol.

    At one point I couldn't change the desktop background from the solid colors it liked.

    in the process of doing this in a VM now. If you want the esd afterwards, we can work that out.
    Code:
    9431.0.winmain_bluemp.130615-1214_x64fre_client_Professionalwmc_en-us-IMP_CPWMCA_X64FRER_EN-US_ESD.esd

    Sounds good. I was trying to do some work on the Windows 8.1 tokens and apparently it didn't like me.

    I also captured the expanded esd working directory before it disappears (if it does). Once the OS is done fartin around and updating I will post a directory listing too.
