    create ei.cfg with notepad and write this content (enable windows views extension )

    [Edition]

    [Channel]
    _Default

    [VL]
    0

    save as ei.cfg and paste ei.cfg to source folder of windows usb drive or iso

    you might as well delete the wim file

    to have only your image, right?

    i keep the original editions and just add mine
    without removing the rest
    to make it "svf-able"

    Yeah, info we published many years ago and commonly used. It gets copied a lot.

    all the non pro edition wont appear on the edition list
    if it could be more like just select same edition in the list without hidden the rest
    would be more comfortable
    and avoiding handling it in the future

    Then this is sufficient isn't it?

    If you want to re-arrange the SKUs, export them all into a new install.wim in the order you desire.

    Code:
    dism /Export-Image /SourceImageFile:"x:\install.wim" /SourceIndex:z /DestinationImageFile:"y:\install.wim" /Compress:max
    x = source install.wim
    z = desired SKU to export
    y = destionation install.wim

    after you have exported all, replace the original install.wim with the new one.

    I am known to abuse my ssd's and since my samsung 850pro (300TBW), i can't seem to break it after a few years of creating and using 10000s svf/sfx files, installing OS's (virtual and real), creating a couple of releases per month.
