    my Windows 8 Professional has been activated with M $ 2.3.4 toolkit, so I can't update for store by 8.1, ask, this is true or fake?

    In the video, that wallpaper I posted is animated, so I assume it is part of 8.1 as default ?

    The Betta fish wallpaper is animated too with the bubbles

    I am not sure since I am not a wallpaper fancy, always use solid color backgrounds, maybe some other guy would know better. :D

    Some more notes regarding Media Center, for what it's worth.

    - If your 8.1 is using a KMS Client key then it says "Can't add features to this edition of Windows"

    - You have to use a retail key (i.e. the provided NTTX3-) before you can install Media Center.

    - After installing Media Center you can change it to the KMS Client WMC key, provided you're using one of the KMS toolkits which will work with it.

    I upgraded from pro wmc to 8.1 with wmc and yes you still do have the watermark.

    It's normal cause it's preview.

    i am using stardocks decor 8 if you want to try it.i used an older version so when i first tried to install it,it said i needed windows 8.so i clicked troudle shoot compatabilty install method,and it worked.so now i have rotating pictures like on the desktop.ive noticed though that the settings like the amount of time and the pictures are synced with the desktop ones.so if you want them changing say every 2 minutes,have to have the desktop ones set to that also.i also needed in order to get the settings for decor 8 to come up,go into the stardock program files and click on stardock configure file.so i put a shortcut to it on my desktop.a lot better than staring at the same pic all the time.i also checked to make sure the tiles still worked.
