Lenovo embedded a PreAuthroized OS License for Windows Home edition inside the BIOS. Windows11 tries really hard to force Home edition within a fresh install. How do you bypass this?
Create Windows11 USB, mount and place the following two files under the sources
folder inside the root of the live USB.
Note: If creating ei.cfg
within notepad, Save-as
and "Filetype" set to All Files
so the text file saves as a proper .cfg
Otherwise notepad will set the header to plaintext
and the installer won't recognize it.
