Continuing the topics of Windows 7 [x86 and x64] 32-bit and 64-bit Direct download links leaked and Tutorial to Create and Make a Bootable Windows 7 ISO DVD from EXE plus Setup1.box and Setup2.box Files , in this third post of mine, I am going to describe my readers a Tutorial by which you could extract all versions (i.e. Starter, Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate) from the developed ISO file from EXE plus Setup1.box and Setu2.box Files.
Unlike, Windows Vista, Windows 7 ISO consist of all versions within it, but is locked to install only the Professional version. To unlock this boundation , just follow the following steps:
- Download and Install Ultra ISO
- Open the generated ISO File from exe , Setup1.box and Setup2.box
- Now search for the ei.cfg file and delete it ,as show in the following ScreenShots:
- Once done, click on File > “Save as” and save the new ISO file with some new name.
- Burn the new and modified ISO using your favorite CD/DVD burning software like Nero, Power ISO or ULTRA ISO itself.
- You are done now, during installation a screen will prompt asking the version to select for installation like:
Â
You are done now. You can install any version of Windows 7 from your downloaded Windows 7 professional files.

Hola muchas gracias por la explicacion
Thanks
Thank you very much for ur nice post
So, it isn’t an Ultimate version.
It is just fake professional one..?
PLZ i need to know..!
this is a tutorial to extract the ultimate version as well as all other versions of Windows 7 from a single professional version disc
Can I unlock the other versions but with the Home Premium version?
That’s the version i donwloaded, or do I need to download the Professional version?
Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to delete the ei.cgf from the expanded setup
Gotta say;
Am building a pc for a client, who has purchasedWin7 home premium (their choice) the dvd is en-route, but I have built the pc.
I downloaded Pro for here upon date of posting. But to save downloading again, I followed the tip precisely and it worked a treat.
New build, clean install, Home Premium from pro software with genuine key on way.
Thank you for this.
Nice workaround.
Luke’s workaround is easy too- thanks.
Yes Lemuel
Its great to hear positive replys from readers
I followed the procedure and it worked; unlocking all the versions from Home Premium ISO
Thanks Chinks.
By the way, I herd that win7 can be activated by using a Master OEM Key, is that true? Have you done that guys? Thanks in advance.

Lets say I bought windows 7 professional from a retailer like best buy. Could I also unlock windows 7 ultimate on that? thanks
Nope you cant! Every edition got different serial key for them..
what is the different between version could someone explain me what is the best edition or version to install? thanks btw.
@ rein … Different versions are developed for different users.. and versions lack some of the features: Ultimate is the best version/edition out of all, as it doesn’t lack any feature and is complete
