Figure 11-19 The Windows product key screen

Every Windows installation disc/disk contains all of the available editions

within a version. The product key not only verifies the legitimacy of your

purchase; it also tells the installer which edition you purchased.

If you click the I don’t have a product key link (or leave the product key

blank and click the Next button in versions before Windows 10), you will be

taken to a screen asking you which version of Windows you would like to

install (see Figure 11-20). Lest you start to think that you’ve discovered a

way to install Windows without paying for it, you should know that doing

this simply installs a 30-day trial of the operating system. After 30 days, you

will no longer be able to boot to the desktop without entering a valid product

key that matches the edition of Windows you installed. After the product key

screen, you’ll find Microsoft’s EULA, shown in Figure 11-21.
