But this license is either OEM or the pre-specified Edition (eg. Home Edition), this is good relatively to End Users but for Corporate Users that have their own licensing (eg, MAK/VLK) then it will be a headache. This is because the Windows 10 will automatically detect the OEM version at startup (even though you install from scratch) and automatically pre-select the appropriate Edition for you. But you wanted to use your own Corporate License Key and thus causes headaches.
There is a simple workaround on this, just follow these steps below :-
1. Download the Windows 10 ISO file, any architecture will do (eg. 32-bit/64-bit). You can use the Windows Media Creation Tool to download. You can also follow this steps on how to download and save it as an ISO file, link here.
2. Once downloaded, use any ISO browser/maker (I'm using MagicISO but any tools will do). Browse to "/sources" folder and look for a file named "ei.cfg", copy the file into your local folder (eg. Documents).
Note : If you are unable to locate the file in the ISO, no worry..... just create the file, ensuring the extension is correct will suffice.
3. Edit the "ei.cfg" file using Notepad. You may see the contents something similar as below.
4. Modify the contents as below, depending on your license type it may varies. Since our license is "Volume License" thus we need to enabled it.
5. Save the file then copy and paste it back to "/sources" folder and overwrite it. Now save the ISO file, next is your choice of either creating a bootable USB drive or burn the ISO into a DVD disc.
6. You may also want to have read on this in Microsoft Website for a better understanding.
!!! HAPPY COMPUTING !!!
