    Just install your Ultimate edition :)

    We have no idea why MS put the 16GB limitation on Home Premium, but IMO it`s so people with the intent on installing more than 16GB would have to at least buy W7 Pro.

    why are you repeating yourself? you stated EULA, i accepted it with no argument and you keep beating that dead horse - try to understand your 2nd assertion of it above was not quite as polite, assuming i was intent on violating EULA - i didn't even think about EULA, i don't live software, i made my living making metal chips machining - try to keep in mind not everyone that asks about a work-around is evil slime. You explained it the first time, and i accepted that, PERIOD

    Yes you didn't ask us to help you hack windows but that is the only way to do what you want. Get it to accept more than 16 gb of ram. Hence the reason why we can't help you with that. All we can help you do are explore alternatives.

    I thought of a partial explanation to your question about hardware limitations, not only ram but also cpu. That you be to avoid users taking their cheapest version and turning it into a server. That would require using higher levels of ram than most people use. Not that you would do that but some would. They would rather have users buy the most more expensive servers versions for that than the cheaper desktop versions especially their cheapest. Unfortunately your situation just happened to be caught in the crossfire.
