So Win 8 how many versions are there, if just "win 8" as this review said, does not include media center?
I do not have it, saw the review only, never had a version of win that did not have media center?????

So if you buy one with win 8 preinstalled, you need upgrade with the Windows 8 Pro Pack, is that 70.00 as you referred to?

Windows Media Center, which is free for a limited time, only works with Windows 8 Pro. So, if you have Windows 8 (non-Pro), it is $69.99 to upgrade to Pro, and then you can add Windows Media Center for free, for a limited time.
Move up from Windows 8 to Windows 8 Pro
Add Windows Media Center to Windows 8 Pro

do not have it yet
You're welcome.
Just out of curiosity, if the pcs are compatible, how many can you upgrade with this, only 1, or more, sometimes 3?

Depends on the number of licence or number of keys that you get. One for one like normal when upgrading the Windows OS.
Media player is a different story though.
