Can't select Pro version because the system came with Home installed

[SrGeneroso]

I found this problem earlier, is not that the script doesn't work, but that w11 (and possibly 10) can detect the OEM preinstalled OS, I don't know how and I would like to learn why as only saves a single step. I'm referring to the step where you choose if you want the Pro version, the Home, then N... and so on. In practice, it means that if you bought a system that was preinstalled with let's say the Home edition it will only show you that option.

A workaround to enable the selection panel during installation is that you have to include a "ei.cfg" file with [Channel] Retail in the folder sources. Is there a way to do it from the script? I'm going to do it manually but it would be great to include it.

I leave this here in case helps somebody else

I'm not sure if it can be done in the file, but I will have a look at it sometime.

@SrGeneroso Could you please edit your answer file and replace the userdata section (in the WindowsPE phase) with the following and report back?

<UserData>
        <AcceptEula>true</AcceptEula>
        <ProductKey>
    <Key>00000-00000-00000-00000-00000</Key>
        <WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> <!-- This ensures the UI will show to select the edition of Windows -->
    </ProductKey>
</UserData>

I've added the following command to the answer file and I'm closing the issue.

<WillShowUI>Always</WillShowUI> <!-- This ensures the UI will show to select the edition of Windows -->
