John,
I don't know if maybe you are done for the evening. If so, I'll just conclude with the following:
I know that your whole goal here is to be able to select the edition of windows that you want, so let me give you the simplest possible way to do this:
Create your Windows USB installation media however you want. For example, if you use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool, go ahead and do that. I don't care what method you use so long as you can successfully boot from that media.
For example, if you are going to use the Media Creation Tool, then do this:
Start by going up to the Media Creation Tool Web site and create your media again:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/soft...load/windows10
Once you have created your USB flash drive, take a look at that drive. Depending upon what options you selected, you will see one of the following:
1) A \sources folder in the root of the drive.
2) Both a \x64\sources folder AND a \x86\sources folder in the root of the drive.
Now, take your ei.cfg and copy it into the \sources folder(s). In case #1 above, you only need to copy that file one time into \sources. In case #2 above, you will copy that file twice. Once into \x64\sources and again into \x86\sources.
That is all!
Boot from that media and this time you should get a screen that asks you what edition of Windows you want to install. You will be able to choose from Home, Pro, Workstation, etc.
NOTE: We only need to worry about all the other stuff if your drive won't boot. So long as it boots successfully, the above is all that you need to do.
