Overview

• Fully converts an ISO or WIM containing Windows 10 Home version 1709+ to a full Windows 10 Pro for Workstations image.
• Does NOT perform any actions that are against Microsoft's Terms of Service or in any ways illegal.
• Microsoft offers a free Media Creation Tool for v1709+ that will download their Fall Creator's Update v1709.
• There are other legitimate 3rd party sources where this media can also be obtained.

How it works

• Copies the Windows Installation WIM file from the supplied source path.
• Detects the Windows 10 Home index image within the WIM, thus supplied images can be single-index or multi-index.
• Checks the health of the image before continuing with the conversion process.
• Changes the Windows 10 Home Edition ID to Windows 10 Pro for Workstations.
• Converts the Windows 10 Home default XML metadata values to Windows 10 Pro for Workstations specific values.
• Generates a Windows 10 Pro for Workstations EI.CFG
• Exports the new Windows 10 Pro for Workstations WIM, EI.CFG and log files to a folder on the user's desktop.

Executable specifics

• The executable requires no additional files and runs completely independently.
• The executable uses C# code, utilizing the WimGapi.dll and a safe-handle class, to natively access the WIM file's handle where it can access and retrieve the XMDocument metadata of the image.
• It supports drag and drop of a WIM file or an ISO file onto the .EXE, which will automatically begin the conversion process.
• Allows for final compression selection.

Requirements

• Windows 10 RS3 (1709) and above ISO/WIM installation media that contains Windows 10 Home (Core).
