I hope some-one can help. I know that Media Centre is not a feature of Windows 8, and to get it at present you can use the free update via Microsoft website. The problem here of course is it converts your Windows 8 to a retail version. My questions are simple 1. Has anyone found a way to add Media Centre and keep KMS activation 2. If impossible what similar program are people using to replace Media Centre
1 : impossible 2: ? Retail is much better than KMS as it is forever. You can activate Pro with KMS, and then use a retail WMC key to activate the WMC to retail.
Yes I have done that on a couple of computers, BUT I am looking down the line when you wont get that free upgrade offer. We now have basically a permanent activation now via KMS (running your own server), so its now as good as retail. So if I do want to keep KMS activation my question remains 1. Has anyone found a way to add Media Centre and keep KMS activation 2. If impossible what similar programs are people using instead of Media Centre for W8
Not impossible lol basically you downgrade to pro sku and patch wmc policy check. As for similar programs like wmc use google
Ok, forgive my ignorance BUT how does one do that?????? I would like to test this on a computer with solely KMS activation.
