Got a new lappy (with Windows 8 normal, not pro) and wanted to do a clean install. So I got an .iso and did a complete wipe and install. Turns out it installed 8 pro (which I assumed would not happen, because other posts led me to believe it would match up the version with your key).

I tried put in an ei.cfg file and do a less intensive windows install, but it just installed pro again. The complete wipe install took all night and I'd rather not have to do it just to test it. Any help?
