All because of that

Index: "1"
Name: "Windows 10 Pro"
Beschreibung: "Windows 10 Pro"

I downloaded an iso and extracted the Win 10 Home with NTLite (screenshot). Now I integrate latest updates and drivers with NTLite.So I can delete the ei.cfg, since only a Win 10 Home installation is possible anyway and try it as at the beginning,
only with the autounattend.xml... I'll enter my original Home Key as a test and see whether he accepts this,
otherwise I'll try the KMS from here as suggested or no key... something will work Just want to test it and see what happens.

Update:

Install works with my original Key in the autounattend.xml and after installation (if internet is available) Windows activates itself.
Updates and Drivers are also installed:
But one last Problem... the user account is not installed as an administrator although specified in the autounattend.xml under

<Group>Administrators</Group>

Can you take a look at the autounattend.xml please (I replaced my key with XX...)?

Is it the first time you have had this problem?

I am not a specialist when it comes to IT, and I certainly don't understand anything when it comes to codes, besides the basics. I am happy you figured out where the problem is, and you were able to solve it. However, next time you have any problems of this kind, you can look for forums about the cheapest windows 10 keys (https://www.reddit.com/r/AskComputerQuestions/comments/xza7h5/where_to_get_windows_10_key/) like this one on Reddit. People tend to share there everything related to Windows. Their experience, tips, and even are open to help you with whatever problem you have, just feel free to share it there.

When I had a same problem, I just searched for new product key on Reddit. They are giving away these from time to time.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GetComputerHelp/comments/y17yo3/where_to_get_a_windows_10_key/ - for example, here are a few options in comments.

It's good to hear that the installation worked with your original key, but I understand the frustration with the user account not being installed as an administrator. Have you considered checking the specific settings in the autounattend.xml file related to user accounts, and how do you plan to address this issue?

Also, Ganesha, searching for product keys on forums like Reddit can be risky due to potential legal and security issues. How do you ensure the legitimacy and safety of the product keys you find online?
