It is very helpful when you need a brand new Windows installation on your PC, like you want to run some software that can only work with certain Windows OS. With this tool, you can create a Windows installation USB with a system ISO file to install Windows 10, 8, 7 on a computer, or directly upgrade your system to the latest version. The solution? We need to force the Windows 10 installer to provide a selection screen so that we can choose which Windows 10 Edition we want to install.Windows Media Creation Tool is an installing and upgrading utility developed for Windows systems by Microsoft. This is because the installer detects the previous Windows version product key which is stored in BIOS. For example, if the user had a Windows 8.1 Home edition installed in the computer previously, then the Windows 10 installer will automatically install a new Windows 10 Home edition on that computer. Then it automatically installs the corresponding edition of Windows 10.

The reason for this annoying issue is because Windows 10 installer automatically detects the Windows edition type of the previously installed Windows version on the user’s computer. In my humble opinion, by default, Microsoft should allow the users to select the Windows 10 edition type (Home, Education, Pro, etc) during the installation process. The Windows 10 installer automatically installs the Windows 10 Home edition in their computer without giving any option to the user to choose a different edition. When performing a clean installation of the new Windows 10 version, most of the users can’t select which Windows 10 edition they want to install. One of the annoying problems which many users encounter while installing Windows 10 operating system in their computers is lack of the ability to choose the Windows 10 Edition.
