Hi,
Not sure what has happen here and you are correct, both versions do have the
Media Center. If you follow this link I think you can give this a try and
see if it brings it back. Don't be intimidated by the window that states
"Automatically fix problems that are preventing windows from starting".

Just remember before doing any kind of Repair, Reinstall, etc. to always
backup your user files, pics, music and so on. Anything could happen, power
failure, surge in the power line, etc.
