    How do I remove Windows Media Center from Windows 8 Pro without an Insatllation Disc or ISO download

    I got my Windows 8 Pro key through Dreamsparks but They don't have a WMC key
    is there anyway to Uninstall WMC and go back to Normal 8 Pro?

    You answered your own question.

    Windows Media Center wasn't designed to be removed because there is no reason why a legitimate user would want to. Unless you have a backup image of your windows installation that was taken before you upgraded, you will need Windows 8 installation media.

    You can download it from MDL, torrent sites, or through microsoft.com if you have a legit key.

    What is the real problem though? Win 8 pro WMC can be activated using Microsoft Toolkit just like Win 8 pro, it will just be for 30 days at a time rather than 180, which doesn't make a difference since autokms will re-activate every 24 hours or at log-in.
