They altered the actual pictures on the system using dism and updated the install.wim file so that the images wouldn’t be in evaluation versions. The issue arose because changing the image content didn’t automatically update the name or details of the picture. During migration from imagex (for Vista/Windows 7) to dism (Windows 8+), renaming images became much harder. Now you’d have to export each image individually into a new wimfile, which lets you adjust the name but not the description. PowerShell tools like "Add-WindowsImage" can help with descriptions, but the process is quite complicated. Some third-party WIM editors try to mimic old imagex features, though they carry risks. I attached an example to illustrate the problem. Even after switching from Home to Professional edition, the images still displayed as Windows 10 Home in both title and text.

It’s better to avoid relying solely on the ISO from the Microsoft site. It doesn’t clearly mark them as eval, and everything remains eval until you input a license key and enable it.
