Windows 10 never asks for a key during install
Hello,
I bought recently a new laptop (Asus UX303UA) which come with a pre-installed version of Windows 10 Home. I actually try to receive a refund for it because I have another valid key for Windows 10 Pro.
I wiped the SSD and tried to reinstall Win10 but I was never asked to enter any product key and was not able to choose between Home and Pro version. It is automatically assuming that I want to use the OEM product key registered in BIOS.
I know that a solution was to add two files in the sources folder of my Windows 10 USB key : ei.cfg and PID.txt (as it was suggested in this thread for example). But this solution no longer works...
My question is : how can I use my own product key and force Windows 10 to NOT use the embedded key in BIOS (or I won't be able to get a refund) ?
Thanks in advance for any help (and sorry for my average English) !
