    As far as gaming performance goes, Windows 8.1 has the upper hand. & yes, you need to buy Windows Media Centre as an add on for W8.1 Pro.

    You should be aware that when you install the WMC add on, Windows will generate a new serial. Sometimes, however, as I found from bitter personal experience, Windows can reject (after a reboot) the new serial - & the activation nightmare begins.

    Thanks to pattikins
