    How cool is this!:cool: Just what the doctor ordered, heheeee... :)

    One suggestion: a lad here has a way to get a version of Win10/11 without ads...

    Could you, please, add that one to your excellent stables? For us non-IT guys... :)

    THANX!

    I had pm's thread in mind: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...s-all-sku-aio-any-language-extra-theme.86209/

    Damn, I got a Home version, after all...

    I wonder if it has something with the options that Rufus gives you before burning a USB stick with the ISO - to suppress various MS options to spy on you etc.?

    I just checked and in fact there is a problem with the Windows XP ISOs in English, I think it's because of the K and KN versions, I will try to correct that quickly!

    It’s okay, I fixed the problem! :)

    As i thought it was because of the K and KN editions which didn't have their own category :)

    May I ask: is there a screen during the installation process that allows one to choose which version (W11 Home/Pro/Enterprise/???) one wants to install, please?

    Because I thought I DLed such a version but I could only install the Home version - I was not given a choice to install Pro/N versions... Or have I misunderstood?

    Thanx!

    There is two ways to have the Edition selection screen appear during setup:

    1. If you are comfortable with editing the ISO image, ie using something like UltraISO to open the image and placing a file into the \Sources folder then saving the iso so it contains the added file.

    2. Using the Business ISO's instead of the Consumer/Client ones because the Business ones do not have Core/Home editions within so the computer cannot auto select the Core/Home edition.

    Why you cannot select the edition you wish is because the computer you are installing on came with Core/Home edition from factory as this will contain a MSDM table that has the product key for Home/Core, when windows setup detects this MSDM table it will use that and ignore the selection screen and will run with that product key (core in this case).

    The file to add into the ISO is called ei.cfg this text file tells windows setup to ignore the internal MSDM table of the device and allow the user to select an edition to install.

    for consumer ISO's the new ei.cfg contents are:
    Code:
    [Channel]
    _Default
    [VL]
    0
    
    Open notepad and copy paste the above 'code' into a new text file. Save it as ei.cfg make sure no .txt suffix is added.

    Place that ei.cfg file as explained in (1) above if you are comfortable with editing a ISO image.

    Using the Business ISO will be easier but you wont be able to install home/Core as it does not contain those editions only Professional and above.

    You can edit the ei.cfg _Default line to Professional etc to force setup to install just that version and no selection screen. But personally i prefer to have the choice.

    Using ei.cfg method will also skip the product key screen which would usually appear during setup, (if it does appear just click skip or i do not have a key), at the end of the installation of windows you will need to activate the OS.

    If a HWID was previously used/available for the edition then once connected to the internet it should auto activate.

    If you used KMS method then you will need to use your preferred way to KMS activate.

    Oh man, what a smooth and efficient interface! I just have one problem that will prevent me from using it, unless someone knows how to help me with a workaround.
    I was trying to get a windows ISO but on step 3 it asks to download an SVF extractor (svfx.exe), however, I am on my laptop on Linux... and don't have access to windows. Is there any way to create the ISO from the ISO and SVF on Linux? Thanks in advance to anyone who has a solution! And thanks OP for your excellent web app, it is truly a wonderful thing.
