    Will upgrading from Windows 7 lose any of my WMC settings such as scheduled recordings and custom pictures and video folders?

    Thank you. I appreciate the response. I guess while the retail copy of Win 8 Pro is transferable (it should be as long as it's not OEM), the Media Center license is not. :(

    I am thinking about upgrading my Media Center that also serves as my file server (gotta love Drobo). I have it set up the way I want it - TV programming and all. I also already bought the Windows 8 Pro because of the promo and got the MC license ... just afraid to do the upgrade because I don't want to lose any scheduled recordings and folder share permissions.

    Does anyone know if upgrading to Windows 8 Pro lose any setting on the current Win 7 WMC? I don't want to lose any scheduled recordings and shared folders and permission settings.

    Thanks.

    Hello guys

    Can anyone tell me how to BACK UP activation for Windows 8 Enterprise x64(non N) version. I tried with Advanced token manager v3.5 RC4 and it says that" The product key detected not match with your installed license. Please input exact correct key into box, and check if it is correct"
    It gives me the "Last 5 characters of the real licence"
    And says to input the Product key

    And I even wasn't asked to input any key during installation.


    Thanks in advance
