    Will this give the option of installing Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center?

    Obviously not, as 'Windows 8.1 Pro Preview with Media Center' is meant as upgrade and not as fresh install. Due to that fact there is no official MS ISO.

    You will only get the choise for Core and Pro.

    Not shure here, as i activated my Pro Preview with Media Center (upgraded via Store) via KMS for testing, installed the mentioned key again and got activated.

    Hmmm what are the general thoughts of Upgrading Windows 8.1 Preview to Windows 8.1 RTM?

    I mean I think it can be done by tweaking the Install.wim using DISM. Some of the settings are easy to bypass.

    Am simply curious :p

    Hmmm
    for me i upgraded to ProfessionaWMC Offline, then after finishing install the key won't work.
    maybe because i skipped it during OOBE :unsure:

    When you have an activated "Windows 8 Pro WMC" and do a store upgrade, then you get an activated "Windows 8.1 Pro WMC".

    I made a clone of my activated "Windows 8 Pro WMC" installation to a separate partition and do the store upgrade with the clone. And the upgraded "Windows 8.1 Pro WMC" is still activated.

    Suggestion to mods : can we split Windows 8.1 into a new subforum, separate from Windows 8 ?

    let the preview stage within 8 forum and make a new one for 8.1 when RTM is available. It's only matter of weeks :D

    Is the same for me and splitting is just a solution to quickly find treads about 8.1 but is not so important.

    I just hope that there would be some kind of sticky clean-up, guess some of them could be un-stickied. :eek:
