    it wont make it retail, oem or VL if you remove it, it'll make the key decide what kind and also what version you want to install..

    Yes ? If you want both 64bit and 32bit you have to make an AIO yourself.

    Deleting the ei.cfg file allowes you to pick edition (starter, basic, premium, pro and ultimate) for install.
    Making an AIO creates one single .wim file with all 32bit and 64bit editions available..

    Deleting the ei.cg, removes the oem/retail/vl mark and makes the key decide..

    I think the easiest would be to use Windows OEM Preinstallation Kit for this.
    It is complcated, as it is not easy to change it using notepad only

    Hi group. Lame question I suppose. How does one capture the OEM sources from an existing installation of Vista? The tools are available to capture the cert and key for sure but where in the vast abyss of windows files would one find the OEM sources?

    Thanks in advance.

    Seems like there are different OEM folders for windows 7 editions. to make Ultimate OEM dvd we need Ultimate OEM folder.

    I am looking for Lenovo Professional folder but not available on this thread. Is there a way I can make it?

    I have Lenovo Windows 7 Professional DVD 32-bit (Official DVD from Lenovo) but I am looking to install 64-bit because I upgraded my RAM. What do you guys suggest is a good way to get to 64-bit?

    You can install any version you want obviously, just change the OEMSLP key in slp file (or whatever its called or how its done) if you want 7 to activate

    från = from :p

    Ofcourse i do, why shoudnt i ?

    Its basically just pictures in the oem folder and the cert+key is used for both 32bit and 64bit.. all you need to do is change the OEMSLP key to your version.
