    I found the Group Policy feature on Windows XP Pro back in the early 2000s. Learned a lot about how Windows actually worked under the hood. I never ran any Home version ever again after that.

        Not really, home edition has a subset of the group policy compared to pro or enterprise…

          The Home version also has many other features that are disabled compared to the Pro/Enterprise versions. It stands to reason that this could also have an impact on the group policy, which offers far less because so many other things are disabled. Of course, it cannot be activated easily and many things are prevented, but theoretically, all of this would also be available in the home version. As long as you do not use a customized or self-created ISO, but the standard ISO image from MS. Ultimately, the key that is subsequently activated and what is not is decisive.

          However, I don’t want to contradict you that the Pro/Enterprise version would be the smarter choice from the outset, because that’s definitely true.
