    Cannot choose Windows 10 home option instead of Pro edition from Media Creation Tool


    Hi,
    I have installed Windows 10 Pro edition (without activation) in my PC and trying to install Windows 10 home since I have digital license key for Home edition version. But I can't seem to choose Windows 10 home option instead of Pro edition (default) from MediaCreationTool1809.exe. Anybody knows how to go about installing Windows 10 Home edition?

    :)

  4. Cannot choose Windows 10 home option instead of Pro edition from Media Creation Tool

    Media Creation Tool Edition Options?

    I am using the Media Creation Tool to Create installation media for another PC.

    The only edition choices are:

    Windows 10

    Windows 10 Home Single Language

    Windows 10 N

    I am trying to create media for both 64 bit PRO and HOME.

    Please explain the options.

    The choices for architecture are:

    32

    64

    Both

    If you choose Both does it create a single media that can do both or two separate?

    Thanks
