Windows 8.1 setup has an annoying feature: you are forced to enter a prod key right after you boot from USB/CD/DVD. Does anyone knows how to disable this screen and take me to the "Edition Select" screen?
What he means is if you take any W10 ISO, and replace 10's install.wim with a 8.1 version -- it will be installed.
W10's Setup doesn't ask for any product keys before starting. But you got to keep two ISO's around (8.1 & 10). W10 includes newer drivers, so booting off the W10 ISO may hide the fact that the boot image works fine -- but your install image may be missing required drivers.
