Media Center is a dead duck. It is not on Window 10 either. So if you intend to move on, forget Media Center

Do you NEED Media Center?

I know it was dead, but there was still a few places that sold it.
Also and your answer both of the items you typed were the same place.

Thank you any way

I do not even see it on eBay. I have looked for a while. It is not available anywhere (legal) that I can see.

Also sorry about the bad link for Windows 8.1. It was useless anyway. It was written in 2013 when you could still download Media Center.

I suggest finding a different product to do what you want and something you can use in Windows 10.

@oneplace - The reason Media Center is gone is the market was too tiny. It is not likely (at all) to be coming back and Windows 10 is here to stay, so best to use one of the alternatives above.

"Dead and gone" is a bit harsh.   It actually works VERY well, and won't be "dead and gone" until Microsoft pulls the plug on the guide update service, which most likely won't be before 2023, when Windows 8 finally "dies" (Jan 10, 2023).

As I noted earlier, WMC is about as good as you can get for a "Super DVR".    I've tried virtually all of the alternatives; and there simply aren't any that work as well with protected content and cable card tuners.   The most promising alternative is probably the Silicon Dust PVR project, but that's got a good ways to go before it'll be a good replacement for WMC.   I certainly think this, or some other alternative, will be more mature and fully protected-content capable well before the 2023 date.

Unfortunately, it does indeed seem to be nearly impossible to find WMC for Win 8.1, so that best alternative is to simply install Windows 7 on any PC you want to use for WMC.    Most PC's being used for this are likely dedicated to WMC, so there's no real downside to using the older OS.

The problem I am having with windows 7 is I can not fine how to o change or uninstall the Standard vga graphics adapter, I delete it and put a new one on, but it just comes back and deletes the new one. So if I can fine out how to do that I will be ok, because everything else works fine. I have a AMD E-11200 APU with Radeon (TM) HD GB 7.72 64-bit AMD Radeon HD 7310 Graphics., thank you for your comment.

Have you installed the latest AMD Radeon driver for Windows 7?   It shows support for the Radeon E-series APU's is included with that package, so it should be what you need.
