On the USB drive where Windows 10 Setup is, open Sources folder.For this do the following steps: (You can also download the file given below and paste it to the sources folder) You have a License of Windows 10 Home: To force Windows 10 to install Windows 10 Home during a clean install, you would need to create an ei.cfg file which instructs the setup media to install the mentioned edition and channel.
