To perform a clean installation of Windows Pro Edition on a Turkish system using an ISO image, follow these steps:
-
Download the latest Windows Pro Edition ISO image from the official Microsoft website.
-
Extract the ISO image using a tool like WinRAR or 7-Zip.
-
Open the extracted folder and locate the
setup.exefile. -
Insert a blank DVD or USB drive and open the drive in File Explorer.
-
Copy the
setup.exefile to the root directory of the drive. -
Rename the
setup.exefile tosetup.cmd. This step is necessary to run the setup file in command prompt mode, which allows us to perform a clean installation. -
Restart your computer and boot from the USB or DVD drive.
-
During the setup process, select your language preferences, then click on "Repair your computer" when asked about the installation type.
-
In the System Recovery Options window, click on "Command Prompt."
-
In the command prompt, type the following commands one by one, pressing Enter after each:
cd \windows\system32
attrib -h -r -s setupcomplete.cmd
setupcomplete.cmd /unattend:unattend.xml
exit
-
Replace
unattend.xmlwith the path to your custom unattend.xml file. This file should be located in the same folder as thesetup.exefile you copied earlier. If you don't have a custom unattend.xml file, you can use a pre-made one, such as the Windows 10 SE Lite unattend.xml file available online. -
Customize the unattend.xml file according to your preferences, such as choosing the desired edition (Windows Pro in this case), setting the region and keyboard layout (Turkish), and configuring any other settings you require for a clean installation.
-
Save the unattend.xml file and return to the command prompt.
-
Type
exitand press Enter to close the command prompt. -
The Windows setup process should now continue automatically, installing Windows Pro Edition on your system with the settings specified in your unattend.xml file.
-
After the installation is complete, remove the installation media and restart your computer.
