How to add Media Center to Tech Preview  

I followed the instructions and it is working perfectly. So far so good...

Windows says its not activated after adding mediacenter feature to Windows 10 using my own Windows 8 mediacenter key. Please advice

I installed media center as per the instructions and everything worked BUT now the desktop background says Windows 8.1 Pro. I guess that is a small bug.

Thanks, worked for me too,

FYI, Yes and I noticed as well it changes the Desktop watermark to say Windows 8.1 but As Well look under Properties of My Computer (This PC) and here too it changes everything there to Windows 8.1 too, hmmmm, to bad it does that.

Hi and Welcome to Ten Forums. You probably will need to call Microsoft and do a phone activation. You could always change the key to the one in this thread. Microsoft probably thinks you have the key in more than one OS.

I had to use phone activation after using my key as well, there was no problem activating that way.
