Avoid auto-installation of Windows Home when installing Windows – Hindu Wire

A problem faced by many Windows users recently is the inability to choose the Windows edition we need when we install Windows 10 or Windows 11 on our computer. It means that during a clean installation of Windows 10 or 11, the Windows Jome edition is automatically installed without giving any option to the user to select the desired edition. We Android workers mean that this is annoying for some people.

The reason for this annoying problem is that the Windows 10 Installer automatically detects the Edition of the Windows Version previously installed on the users computer, and with that, the previous Windows Edition is automatically installed during the Windows installation. For example, if the user had previously installed Windows 10 Home Edition, Windows 11 Home Edition will automatically be installed again when installing Windows 11 (the same thing will happen if Windows 10 is installed again).

The reason for this is that the Installer recognizes the Previous Windows Version Product Key stored in the BIOS. A solution to this problem is what we are ready to bring to you today in this article.

For this you need a Windows Bootable USB Drive. So first create a USB Bootable Drive.

After that, all you have to do is open Notepad and type the code below in that Notepad.

RetailAfter that, save the file by renaming it as ei.cfg (here the file extension should be cfg) through Save as.

OK, the next thing to do is to copy the saved file to the Sources folder of your Windows Bootable Device.

Now restart your computer and select your Windows Installer Media from the Boot Menu and proceed as you would normally install Windows. There you will be able to see that now we have the opportunity to select the Windows Edition we want.
