ok im upgrading my PC this week, going from 7 to 8.1 only if it will run my tv card & give me better frame rates on gtx 760 2gb, i was reading that i need pro windows 8 & add on pack, i use media centre on 7 while playing bf4 Dayz & other games and it works well
im i reading correct about the add on & pro?
can someone shine a light on the subject
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.
is there a Cough Cough Version of 8.1 with media centre bundles with it, out there in the usual places.
