ei.cfg does NOT work with Windows 10 LightDestroy said: " TEST WITH ISO FROM MSDN... WORKING TEST WITH ISO FROM TECH BENCH... SOON" I tested ei.cfg with the Tech Bench iso - it did NOT work. Where do I get an MSDN version other than paying for a subscription on TechNet? Is the version created by the MediaCreationTool an MSDN version? What is the difference between the Tech Bench and the MSDN release?
urie: I tried searching for ei.cfg before I added a new post, but the Search engine would NOT accept "ei.cfg" as a search option so I could NOT locate any earlier posts about ei.cfg. Plus I dont know if earlier posts would not address any ei.cfg issues with the TH2 release of Windows 10.
Me too, Don,t have this problem with MSDN ISO, Unfortunately can,t upload image for you before 20 posts
Alright I'm hella confused. I've got my hands on a Win 10 Pro "Multiple Edition" ISO. My simple goal is to take the ASUS laptop just purchased from Micro Center that came with Windows 10 Home and put Windows 10 Pro on it. I succesfully burned ISO to USB disk but no "Edition Chooser" popped up and nor is there an "ei.cfg" in the source folder. From what @peck1234 said, since this is in fact a consumer grade laptop it automatically installed the Home version (without the bloat that came with). Activating Win 7 Pro was a breeze with the toolkit. Can anyone school me on this
Did u even read the first post? It clearly gives instructions. U can use software like UltraISO or PowerISO to edit the iso file.
Yes I'm very aware. After I manually added the ei.cfg by creating a new text document under the source folder still shows installs home.
Just to be clear - I'm opening the USB via Windows Explorer which already has the bootable image on it, opening a new text file add the code you mentioned above, then saving it as ei.cfg meaning it will not be saved as a text file. Ultra ISO is giving me BS 300 MB trial limit.
Is this EI.cfg correct?I have created ISO from ESD file and got multiple Edition (pro/home).I have key of windows 10 pro by upgrading from windows 7 ultimate activated by daz loader.now i want to clean install win 10 th2 but my bios has win 8 oem key for home,so it detect and install win 10 home. Code: [EditionID] Professional [Channel] Retail [VL] 0
It's because every ei.cfg could do the trick, i use the OEM channel and that one gives also all choices (on a non branded/oem system there isn't any need for an ei.cfg, just skip every KEY question). Code: [Channel] OEM [VL] 0
I just want to say that this method works also for RS1, tested with MSDN isos. Sorry if this is necroposting.
