Does this still work with Windows 11 systems shipped and embedded with Home license when you want to install Pro selectively?

Yes

Thanks, I'll try. However in first code, the line 1 is blank and continues from line 2. It shouldn't be problem but just noticed. 11 Nis 2024 Per 03:19 tarihinde Jonathan Hassall ***@***.***> şunu yazdı:

Such a stupid idea to have to go through all this sorcery just to specify which edition to install. What was Microsoft thinking?

Can confirm this still works, installed Win11 Pro using the first EI.cfg and no PID file.

First and second ei.cfg files did not work with an image I downloaded on 2/17/2025. It is attempting to install W11 Home regardless. Note that this is without the PID file.

Can you refer to this updated answer and let us know if it works:
