    Either way works, was just answering what he probably overlooked doing when saving the ei.cfg to the sources folder. IF you add that file after burning your USB to the sources file it will auto activate without slmgr or changing the key. It will install as retail pro.

    FOD is features on demand packages (.NET framework, language-specific speech/handwriting/etc. add-on packages). The "X" number is the part number given to each specific release.

    Afaik it only will autoselect Professional at the initial setup (it also selects which EULA to show), what happens after install depends on the used key.

    Testing what happens with retail channel ei.cfg on a system with a HWID for Pro.

    When it HWID activates, why the need to put in other key?

    Are Pro links the same as Multiple Edition? It contains Home, too or not?

    Does these VL ISOs need serial number during installation?

    Thanks

    Reading would explain a lot ;)

    But Multiple Editions ISO's contain both, Home and Pro and ask for a key during install, though they can be skipped.

    Pro VLSC is VL only and doesn't ask for keys because of the ei.cfg in the sources folder and the pre-inserted VL Key.

    With retail channel ei.cfg the install still isn't HWID activated, had to use the generic Pro key, ending on 3v66t, to get it HWID activated.

    Hello guys, so, i have Windows 10 professional edition activated with HWID, and i was wondering if installing volume license edition such as the one leaked today by WZOR or the magnetic links lying around in this thread for that particular edition i.e. Professional edition, would be ok so as that it will auto-activate with internet. Previously i have used MSDN images, and as i understand those are retail for professional edition. Please do share your worthy input regarding this. Thanks :)

    Hello dear, should i do that using CMD after i am done installing VLSC image for Professional Edition, when windows startup for the first time? Or Do i have to edit the installation files from the bootable media i.e. USB in this case, with that command?
