When Windows 8 was first introduced, ,Microsoft wanted you to pay for Windows Media Center, but\u00a0that didn’t work out so well. \u00a0Microsoft later acquiesced to the outcry from Media Center fans and begrudgingly offered a Media Center add-on for Windows 8.<\/p>\n
Now it looks like the official death of Windows Media Center \u00a0will come when Windows 10 is released. So if you’re in love with Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player you better stick with Windows 7, or Windows 8x (with the add-on). However we suspect that you, like us have already moved on to \u00a0bigger and better things.<\/p>\n

The current version of Windows 10 tech preview seems to confirm this…when I try to run Media Center \u00a0that I should… \u201cUninstall this app now because it isn\u2019t compatible with Windows 10.\u201d<\/p>\n If you’re a fan of Windows Media Center, you should be aware that Windows Media Center will not function on Windows 10<\/p>\n We’ve found other media players with more functionality and we are currently using VLC (Video Lan). We offer VLC player as an alternative to Windows Media Center\/Windows Media Player, with the caveat that you’re careful where you download it from. The official VLC Media Player site is here<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you’re thinking of taking Microsoft up on its free upgrade offer for Windows 10, and you think Windows Media Center is the peaches, you better start getting used to the VLC Media Player right now. You may find it is much better and plays a wider variety of media files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Say Farewell to Windows Media Center When Windows 8 was first introduced, ,Microsoft wanted you to pay for Windows Media Center, but\u00a0that didn’t work out so well. \u00a0Microsoft later acquiesced to the outcry from Media Center fans and begrudgingly offered a Media Center add-on for Windows 8.
