Adding Media Center to Windows 8 Release Preview

Ian Dixon (@isdixon) tweeted awhile ago that he could not find out how to add Media Center to Windows 8 Release Preview.  We help him out!

Ian Dixon (@ISDixon on Twitter) Tweeted what I expect to be a common question about the addition of Media Center.  Fortunately, this is covered in the Windows 8 RP FAQ.  Here is how to add Media Center to Windows 8 Release Preview:

Windows Media Center is not preinstalled in Windows 8 Release Preview. If you want to use Windows Media Center, you need to add it by following these steps:

1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
   (If you’re using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, and then click Search.)
2. Enter add features in the search box, and then tap or click Add features to Windows 8.
3. Tap or click I already have a product key.
4. Enter this product key: MBFBV-W3DP2-2MVKN-PJCQD-KKTF7 and then click Next.
5. Select the checkbox to accept the license terms and then click Add features.Your PC will restart and Windows Media Center will now be on your PC and the tile will be pinned to the Start screen.

So, Ian, that is how it is done!  Enjoy!
