Description

Add the Group Policy Editor to Windows 7 editions that normally don't have it, such as Starter Edition, Home and Home Premium.

I did not make this, I spent an hour turning the web upside down to find a way to add gpedit.msc to Windows 7 Home Premium. I finally found this installer.

It was apparently compiled by "davehc" on the Windows 7 forums. He says in the forum "There is no copyright on it so feel free to use and distribute!" So that's what I'm doing, hopefully it will make it easier to find for someone.

Thanks and all credit to "davehc"

Windows 7 x64 Users:
You must go to the SysWOW64 folder and copy the GroupPolicy, GroupPolicyUsers folder and the gpedit.msc file into the System32 folder.

TO DOWNLOAD HIT THE BUTTON ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN THAT SAYS "DOWNLOAD FILE"...DUH. -------> -------> -------> ------->

Unfortunately, doesn't work on Windows 10 (one site says it does), however if you still look for a way to add it to Win10 Home - you can try this: https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/enable_group_policy_editor_in_windows_10_home_edition.html
