    Sounds like the key is embedded in the bios on that device. I was about to share that same link as you found, had it buried in Edge, cleaned up my favorites checking all links yesterday. Since Edge has hit the v90, it has been playing around with my saved favorites, especially the saved links in favorites bar when it syncs.

    Posted in the Edge forum regarding this. Also mentioned why would you put files downloading progress in the top toolbar, not at the bottom of browser like every other browser out there, and Edge previously. Find it a total nuisance. Especially once you do several downloads. More MS logic, lets clutter the top toolbar :-(

    Regards,

    Hi Johnny, 

    I have another question about clean install behavior from the MS ISO that has 11 different editions.

    I've seen the same behavior with previous Builds too.

    A) If I install on a legacy BIOS PC, it shows me the choices with all the editions and I have to select the one I want.

    B) I try the same on an EFI machine and it goes straight to install the Windows 10 Pro without giving me the choice for the edition. It looks like it is automatically picking the edition based on what was previously installed on the machine.

    I wonder why they don't give me the option ?

    What If I wanted to change the edition to a different one ? 

    Also they pick the edition before I have the chance to reformat the C: volume so they can probably see what was previously installed. 

    I will have to try formatting the C: volume before I try the installation and see if they give me the choice.

    Edit:

    Found this link and others on the subject:

    [Fix] Unable to Select Windows 10 Pro Edition During Clean Installation – AskVG

    Added file EI.cfg in the sources folder with the following content and that did the trick and let me pick the edition I want.

    Had 3 UEFI machines for several years and never realized they store the OEM License in the ACPI table of a UEFI machine. :-)

    This command can retrieve it:

    wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey

    If you try the command on a Legacy Bios machine it just returns nothing.

    Showing the same when I compare Official to dump version ISO. Interesting.

    At one point there was a difference on the Experience package between Beta and RPC, but lately they both have the same

    I tend to forget about Experience packages, they be small anyhow. As the previous images were .844 Beta and .867 RP would that explain why.

    Well, I just used the Beta ISO and did a clean install after converting the install.wim to install.esd to put on a Fat32bUSB flash drive.

    The experience package after installation was still the one of the current 20H2 public build.

    It will probably update when I check for updates after enrolling on Beta, new experience package is not coming down staying as non insider.

    Notice the Version difference showing in the ESD, 10.0.19041 on MS while the one that was made from uup-dump showed 10.0.19043.

    From UUP-dump:
