Re: Media Center 2004



No, it won't. As an OEM product, it will only do a clean installation.

You can still buy Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 w/SP2B - OEM
over at Newegg.com if thats what you want. I don't know if it will allow you
to upgrade 2004 to 2005 though.

Does anyone know a way to get Media Player 11 to install on a Media Center
2004 PC? Unfortunately upgrading to Vista doesn't appeal to me as I have too
many important programs that aren't Vista compliant. I would like to upgrade
to 2005 Media Center but that appears to be a problem as you could only get
Media Center for XP on new PC's from what I can see.
