Window Media Center for Windows 10

Window Media Center is a popular multimedia center. The application is an adapted version for the Windows 10 operating system. If you are a fan of the original version of Microsoft Media Center, but can not install on a fresh Windows OS, the ported version of the product is designed specifically for the tenth.

An enduring classic

The product known to everyone was available in earlier versions of the Windows operating system. In the new tenth version, Microsoft developers decided to get rid of the media center. But a group of enthusiasts decided to port the software to the platform of the tenth. And they succeeded. The multimedia center practically does not differ from the original and shows stable operation.

Features

Window Media Center for Windows 10 is still a classic multimedia center, whose tasks include playing content of the following formats:

• music;
• images;
• video.

The user accesses the main media files on their computer. The Media Center does not work with all file formats. The program does not require installation of additional drivers or codecs to work. The application will request a pre-setup before you start working. Personal configuration will allow the software to detect the required multimedia content. This stage can take some time. Therefore, there is an express mode that will find all files of the format on an automated level. The program also imports files from the connected device. The format of supported devices is not extensive.

Interface

The graphical shell of the ported version has received obvious changes. So at first glance it becomes clear that the center is primarily focused on the owners of a gamepad or remote control. This is hinted at by the horizontal menu and a small number of active keys. Nevertheless, control with a mouse and keyboard has not lost its relevance. Also WMC can be used on devices that support touch input. The appearance of the software is noticeably better and is an advantage of the program.

Installation

The installation process is simple and fast. Integration of the software takes place without conflicts and system failures. You just launch the installation package and follow the clear step-by-step instructions. At the end, the installer will create a shortcut on the desktop and in the Start menu. Everything is ready.
