- • NOTE:- PC needs (Win8.x and Win10 'OEM-DM' • Win7 '2.1 slic' • Vista '2.0 slic') bios to apply genuine oem activation.
- How To:
- Win 10
- Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and edit|save iso. OOBE.cmd (Install.cmd) will extract embedded 'OEM-DM' serial from bios (if exists), and apply the serial during installation.
- Win8.1
- Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and add custom 'ei.cfg' file to the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso. Windows will install the edition identified from 'ei.cfg' file. (Project 'Options' folder includes 'ei.cfg' instructions). OOBE.cmd (Install.cmd) will extract embedded 'OEM-DM' serial from bios (if exists), and apply the serial during installation.
- Win8.0
- Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and edit|save iso. Windows will install the edition that matches the embedded 'OEM-DM' serial in your bios (if exists).
- Win7
- Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and delete the 'ei.cfg' file from the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso... during install you will have option to select the edition of 'Win7' you want installed (ie. Starter • Home Basic • Home Premium • Pro • Ultimate)... if you don't delete 'ei.cfg' file, that's OK, just means Ultimate will install by default.
- Vista
- Place the downloaded '$oem$' folder in the 'sources' folder of your 'clean' iso, and delete the 'PID.txt' file (if exists) from the same 'sources' folder and edit|save iso... during install you will have option to select the edition of 'Vista' you want installed (ie. Starter • Home Basic • Home Premium • Business • Ultimate)... if you don't delete 'PID.txt' file, that's OK, just means serial used on that file will determine edition installed.
