There is exactly step by step writen tutorial. There is no need for pictures tutorial.. Spoiler Q: How do I add "Windows Loader.exe" to the Win 7 ISO A: Do the following steps. 1. Obtain a copy of the Win7 x86 or x64 ISO 2. Burn the ISO and/or mount the DVD 3. Extract all of the files from the ISO to a temporary folder. Do not remove/unmount the DVD yet 4. In the root of the temporary folder, create the following folder structure: $OEM$\$$\Setup\Scripts 5. In the just created Scripts folder copy the "Windows Loader.exe" program 6. Create the file setupcomplete.cmd in the same scripts folder, containing the following: Code: @ECHO OFF %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate cd %~dp0 attrib -R -A -S -H *.* SHUTDOWN /R /T 5 RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts" exit 7. Use an ISO creation program like ImgBurn to create a new ISO file. (Operations will be similar with other programs) 8. Set up ImgBurn to "Create Image file from files/folders" 9. Copy all of the files and folders from the temporary folder to ImgBurn 10. Under the Advanced tab select bootable 11. Extract the boot image file from the still inserted/mounted Win7 DVD 12. Finally create the new Win7 ISO file. ImgBurn will automatically use the previously extracted boot image file
Is there any way to "downgrade" an install and keep all of my installed programs and settings? Or am I going to have to copy the appdata folder and reinstall as professional?

IMGburn is not one of the first choices for bootable OS ISO creation/modification, use ultraISO or powerISO or similar.
@maargueb $OEM$ folder needs to be inside sources folder. To easily create bootable ISO, download NTLite, best tool for beginners with many translations.
I open the Notepad and copy and paste the following phrase: Code: @ECHO OFF %~dp0"Windows Loader.exe" /silent /preactivate cd %~dp0 attrib -R -A -S -H *.* SHUTDOWN /R /T 5 RMDIR /S /Q "%WINDIR%\Setup\Scripts" exit And save it under the name: setupcomplete.cmd
