Does Windows 10 Home edition have Local Group Policy Object?

Does Windows 10 Home edition have Local Group Policy Object?

In other words, when comparing Home and Pro, for example, is it the case that:

  • They both have identical LGPO, but Home does not have the editor (gpedit.msc)
  • Home does not have LGPO at all
  • Something in-between

Just to note, assuming LGPO exists in both versions, when I said "identical" in the first item above, I am only talking about the supporting infrastructure, not the policies themselves. Separating this just in case the engine is present, but some policies do not exist because they would apply to things that Home does not support.

I could not find authoritative documentation regarding this, I would appreciate if you could supply some that I can read through.


Solution 1:

Yes. The Home Edition for Windows 8, 8.1 & 10 has full support for Local Group Policies. Only the control panel for LGP (aka gpedit.msc) is scrapped. I extracted one from Windows 10 Professional WIM image and run it directly. Now I have full control to LGP on My Windows 10 Home.
The same applies to Windows 8 & Windows 8.1. Not sure for Windows RT (ARM processor).
