A much friendlier gui. Media center is a must have if you have family pics, videos and music you wish to stream from a NAS(network attached Storage).

I don't know why I bought it, for me personally it has made no difference with whatever is added because I don't use that. Got it to look into remote desktop access

Upgraded from Win 8.1(laptop didn't come with Win 7) to 8.1 Pro, because daughters college required it. Would much rather have Win 7 Pro. But this will do, just have to use it more to get used to it.

I needed to upgrade to Pro. This did the trick. I know I should have purchased the Pro version in the first place, but at least there was a way to rectify my ignorance. Thanks Microsoft.

Some of the additions used to be provided with the basic WIndows product. However I thought it was a worthwhile purchase to get Windows media center.

Windows Pro is already installed in the base operating system. All that is needed is the product key to unlock the additional features. Works great.
