Once you have upgraded to Windows 10, you can forget about the Media Centre. This Windows Media centre was supposed to be a hub for the users, which was able to allow them to record live shows from the Television or display slide shows of photos and also allowing them to stream content.

Floppy Disk Drivers
Though most of us do not use Floppy Disk Drivers any more, but for those who do will have to download the driver which is latest from the Windows Update or the computer manufacturer’s website.
DVD Playback Software
This exciting but extinct method of being able to consume media on your computer is being removed in the Windows 10. The maker of the software has informed that you will need to add separate software for playback if you wish to play DVD’s on Windows 10. VLC player seems to work as a good option or you can consider using Power DVD or WinDVD which perform more like DVD players as compared to the general video players.
Application of the One Drive
The application of One Drive seems to be getting an update with the Windows 10. The older Windows include this among the bundle of Windows Live Essentials, but in the Windows 10 this app will be replaced by One Drive in the inbox version.
