That is correct.
Windows Media Player and Windows 10
OK. I just want to clarify and confirm. Windows Media Playerwill be available with Windows 10, but Windows Media Center will not be available.... Right? ( I hope so, as I usually use the Windows Media Player on my Windows 7 PC to play my music)

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.
As per the issue description you are facing issue with the Groove music app to sync on your system. Here are few links which I have found that might help you to fix the issue.
- Microsoft Groove Music is brand new for Windows 10. It plays your music collection and lets you make and listen to playlists. Add your MP3s to OneDrive and you can use the Groove Music app to play your songs on other devices, too—PCs, tablets, Windows Phone, and Xbox—for free.
- The app is best, however, when you use it with a Groove Music Pass. For a low monthly fee, Groove Music Pass lets you stream and download music from one of the biggest music catalogs on the planet. Custom radio stations play hours of music based on your favorite artists. Use Groove Music Pass on your PC, tablet, phone (including iOS and Android), and Xbox.

2016-02-01T18:05:08+00:00 Hello Win7User1357,
I apologize for my late response, as I currently do not have internet at my rural address and must go elsewhere. I'm not sure if you got part of what I had said before, but to be clear, the Microsoft site states that though Windows Media Player is available for Windows 10, Windows Media Center is not.
I agree with you 100% about the newer Windows OS, since 7. I do not like the new user interface with it's focus on apps. I prefer the programs and start menu that we are all used to. It seems that software companies these days are always trying to innovate to the point that they take away the features we love! Nobody wants to learn how to use Windows all over again. As of now, I'm staying with 7.

2016-01-25T20:57:07+00:00 None of the above has worked. One of the sites requires intermediate skill to try to update. I am not someone with those skills, so that was useless.
I don't understand why Microsoft makes it so hard to switch from on OS to another. And of what use would anyone at Microsoft believe that I wanted to lose all my music because they don't want to make Media Player or an easy update available.
I can finally watch videos, after downloading the VLC app, but still no music.
Someone told me a couple of days ago that this is one of the reasons they went to a MAC, because 8.1 was a pain and 10 is worse. I'm just about there myself.
All I wanted to do was watch a movie and listen to music.
