Good day, I had a issue with a new laptop Acer Swift that used Windows 10 S mode to prevent any installation of software not created by Microsoft! This is very annoying! Here is a quick fix to solve this problem.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download a fresh copy of windows 10 pro<\/li>\n
  2. Burn it on a USB Key drive<\/li>\n
  3. You will have to include (2) files on the new created USB Key drive<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    First you will need to create those 2 files using notepad<\/p>\n

    First file<\/strong><\/p>\n

    ei.cfg < filename to create<\/p>\n

    Inside this file you will add those lines<\/p>\n

    [EditionID]
    \nProfessional
    \n[Channel]
    \nRetail<\/p>\n

    Now save the file on your local hard drive.<\/p>\n

    Second file<\/strong><\/p>\n

    pid.txt<\/p>\n

    Inside this file you will add those lines<\/p>\n

    [PID]
    \nValue=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX<\/p>\n

    You will need to type your Windows 10 Pro license<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Now save the file on your local hard drive.<\/p>\n

    You will then need to copy those (2) files to the new created windows 10 Pro USB key.<\/p>\n

    Copy both files in the root of the key
    \nCopy both files in \/source<\/p>\n

    Reboot and install Windows 10 Pro.<\/p>\n

    Enjoy!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
