    The document provides instructions for creating a Windows installation USB drive that allows the user to choose their edition of Windows 10. It recommends creating a PID.txt file on the USB drive with the Windows product key to automatically select the edition. Alternatively, creating an ei.cfg file in the sources directory with the text "[Channel] Retail" allows the user to manually select their edition when booting from the USB drive. This provides more flexibility than limiting the installation to a single product key.

    First of all, make sure you have a regular (single-architecture) Windows ISO.

    It seems you already have


    that covered.

    Then, try this method:


    1. Create a Setup USB drive
    2. Create a file named PID.txt in the Sources directory, with the following contents:
    3. [PID]
    4. Value=YOURK-EYGOE-SHERE-XXXXX-XXXXX
    5. Boot from this USB drive

    First of all if you download Windows 10 using media creation tool it contains 3 editions: Pro, Home and
    Education. Windows automatically chooses one according to your serial key in BIOS or already installed
    Windows OS. You can force it to let you choose what you want to install by creating one file on your
    installation disc/USB drive.
    Create ei.cfg file in sources directory on installation disc/USB drive, open it in any text editor (for
    example notepad) and paste this:

    [Channel]
    Retail

    IMHO this solution is better because you are not limited to one serial key and you can have both 32
    and 64 bit systems. Media creation tool allows you to download both as one installer. So you end up
    with 6 editions to select. :)
