My PC runs on Windows 8.1 RT, why doesn't it support Windows Media Player?

[Windows Central Question]

My PC runs on Windows 8.1 RT and this does not support Windows Media Player.

This also causes that e.g. Ashampoo's Burning programs do not work on my PC
which is rather annoying.
To play films and music I downloaded VLC and so far this seems to work fine.
My question: how do I burn a CD of DVD?

If your system I'd running Windows 8RT then you can't use regular desktop applications. Windows RT runs on ARM processors which are not capable of running x86 programs. You can only run applications downloaded from the Store. Unless there is some store app that does burning, you're out of luck.
