How do I create a Windows 11 installer with a select version

Hello,

What version do you want for the selection to be? For Windows 11, the PID.txt file is also required in addition to the EI.cfg file.

For example, the following is instruction for "Home "

On your computer, launch the Notepad app and place the following in the file:

[EditionID] Core 
[Channel] Retail 

Then choose Save As and choose file type "all ..", then save it as EI.cfg in the file name field. And then place this file in your flash drive under the \Sources folder.

Then new another file in Notepad, and put this in the file:

[PID] Value=YTMG3-N6DKC-DKB77-7M9GH-8HVX7

And now save it as PID.txt file. No need to do the Save as this time. Put in in the same folder.

I am going to give you two OneDrive links to download these two files. Please make sure you save them in the Sources folder in the Windows 11 installation media you already made (assuming you already made it with Windows Media Creation Tool?)

PID.txt: https://1drv.ms/t/c/e7d90eb3e3571518/ETnV6STL8HlLge2loEl85osBZ_RFEze8NA5wAfCP2fXEKw?e=3SE1ZN

EI.cfg:

Yes, that can be a problem. Please use the Windows Media Creation Tool.

The following steps should be done on a working Windows computer:

Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website. https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 click on the "download now" button under "Create Windows 11 Installation Media"

Run the tool and select "Create installation media for another PC."

Choose "USB flash drive" as the media to use for the installation and select "Next."

Connect a USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space to your computer.

Select the USB flash drive you want to use, and then select "Next."

The tool will then download the required files and create the installation media.

Then put those two files in the Sources folder. It should work.
