you can install media center edition to any computer that fits the minumum requirements and your laptop most certainly does.

what exactly do you want to gain by installing media center?

you can do everything you can do in media center on XP home (near enough anyway) you just use 3rd party apps instead of the ones you get with MCE (which arent very many)

yeh sure you can, the remote isnt essential.

in any case you can buy the remote seperately for around £30 should you want it.

i recently purchased the remote but i cant see any major advantage to having it.

also the media center program itself isnt actually that good for archiving files in as you cant even view a lot of your computers files and folders from within it. also it will only play certain media types whether you have got the codecs or not.

my advise to you would be to just spend a little time sorting out how you store your movies and archive them properly so you dont have to worry about finding them
