We can force Windows 10 setup to install our desired edition of Windows 10 by adding a new file “ ei.cfg” in Windows 10 setup ISO image. NOTE: Please keep in mind if you have product key of core or Home edition of Windows 7/8/8.1 and you previously activated Windows 10 core edition in your computer and now you try to install Pro edition of Windows 10, it’ll not activate after installation as your computer’s hardware ID is associated with Windows 10 core (Home) edition. The solution would be forcing Windows 10 setup to provide selection screen so that we can choose between Core (Home) or Pro editions of Windows 10 or forcing Windows 10 to automatically install Pro edition in our computer. One more thing! If your computer originally came with core or home edition of Windows 7/8/8.1 and you forcefully upgraded it to Windows 10 Pro edition when Windows 10 RTM released and now you try to clean install Windows 10 newer version, it’ll still install Windows 10 core (Home) edition as it’ll detect the product key stored in BIOS which is obviously associated with core or home edition of previous Windows version. For example, if you had Windows 7 Home or Windows 8/8.1 core edition installed in your computer previously, Windows 10 setup will automatically install Windows 10 core (Home) edition in your computer.
