Compatibility and support implications

In a normal Microsoft ISO, the ei.cfg file locks the installer to a specific edition (e.g., Professional). The AIO ISO either deletes or modifies this file. Without ei.cfg —or with a modified version—Windows Setup will pause during installation and present you with a menu asking which edition you wish to install.
