I made an iso of my win 7 home premium 64 bit disk with power iso. Then removed ei.cfg with power iso. But It still does not show achoice of version when i try to install. I am trying to make a disk with all versions available. My disk says recovery disk and has the 64 bit version and looking inside it I can see the licences for the other versions. EVAL OEM and Default licences for all the different versions can be seen and INSTALLWINDOWS CLG for the different versions.Does this mean they are available?
Normally windows 7 retail iso's contain all editions and by ei.cfg the edition you bought will be installed. Recovery disk will not be a retail disk and most likely only contain the windows it can be used for to recover. To check you can extract the install.wim and run this command: Code: Dism /Get-WimInfo /WimFile:"x:\install.wim"
By removing the ei.cfg,the EDITIONID, the disk offers a choice of which version. seemingly it does not work with recovery disks
Enthousiast is trying to tell you that you can NOT simply edit a couple of text files and get the other editions on the same iso. Your current install.wim simply DOES NOT CONTAIN the other indexes, it just contains home premium. Enthousiast also suggested downloading an original windows 7 ultimate iso file. The x86 contains 5 indexes: Spoiler Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

The x64 contains 4 indexes(because Starter is only x86): Spoiler Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393] (c) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

So to conclude: you need a clean windows 7 ultimate image, use poweriso to delete ei.cfg, save the changes and you get an AIO.
