Build 19043.928 out to Beta & Release Channel + ISO for 19043.928

I was wondering why you folks seem to be converting the .wim file.  I know it is larger than 4 GBs since I did a clean install yesterday after having downloaded the .iso.  But, just in case you don't know, there is an easier way, ..  The drive booted and the install started automatically, which I did not expect.

I did learn yesterday you can no longer make a partition active on a USB drive with either Diskpart or Disk Management.

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 :-(

On latest MS Edge they also changed the option to show in folder, I could not find it at first then I saw a folder showing up on the right side..😉

Keep confusing people after they get used to the way it works, lets just create some more new confusion to guess what they are changing.

Like Ease of Access, now renamed Accessibility ? 🤔 What was wrong with the original name ?

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.

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.
