Windows 10: Windows 11 install media automatically choose edition to install instead of letting users...

Hi,I was clean installing Windows 11 on my second drive to see how well it would performs on my laptop. While setting it up, i noticed that it didn't ask me what edition i would like to install. After i've done setting it up, I went to settings app and found out that it installed the home single language edition Windows 10 of the same edition was installed when I initially got this laptop. I have upgraded to Windows 10 Pro using an OEM key and would like to know is there any way I can install the Pro edition without needing to spend money.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.
