However, the users can add it to Windows 8 Pro by buying the Windows 8.1 Media Center Pack, or you can upgrade to Windows 8 to Pro with the Media Center with the Windows 8.1 Pro Pack.

Microsoft requires the users to activate the Windows Media Center after the installation is completed successfully. While trying to activate the product, you may get the error message "Unable to activate Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center or Windows 8 Pro with Media Center."
