"Add Features" Missing - Windows 8 Pro VLK

[Zoom7000]

I managed to get a free product key for Media Center yesterday as Microsoft is offering them for free at the moment. However, I don't have the "Add Features" tool available in Settings on my copy of Windows 8 Pro which I got from VLSC and hence I'm unable to install Media Center. It seems that anyone using a VLK is affected as I've seen by other comments on Microsoft's Social Forums.

 

Has anyone here experienced the same problem, or found a fix?

Try this...

 

1. Open the 'Run' box (Windows Key + R).
    
   
2. Copy-and-paste the following command:
   

   control /name Microsoft.WindowsAnytimeUpgrade

   
    
   

3. Select 'I already have a product key', enter your Windows Media Center key and then click Next.

Definitely using Windows 8 Pro and not Enterprise

   control /name Microsoft.WindowsAnytimeUpgrade

I've tried that command. Even tried running it from an elevated command prompt. Nothing happens

Have you already activated Windows 8 Pro prior to using the WMC key?

 

Nothing happens

Perhaps this method might work?

Yes, Windows was already activated. That method also didn't work for me as I need an upgrade key. I'm using my VLSC key. I'm presuming I need to buy a £14.99 key for it to work
