    Basically it works the same way as edition converters, remove old SKU package and branding package, after that add Server SKU packages and branding package. For already installed system, copy ServerDatacenterACor folder to spp folder and run slmgr -rilc and add Datacenter key. Also replace the Branding folder, if you're not going DISM way.

    Just a thought: can we edit WinPE ARM32 image with packages? Windows 10 ARM64 has also some ARM32 packages. In theory we could make WinPE to full Windows 10 version with using ARM32 packages from Win10 ARM64 and IoT Core.

    It should be OK theoretically.

    I really have to take look of ARM packages and also WinPE addon packages, there might be something interesting on those.

    Well, I am not sure if it is even possible, propably not. If it is possible, it won't be easy at all.

    With IoT Core packages getting proper UWP framework might also be possible. Testing ARM32 builds could be made with QEMU or with real devices.

    I don't have arm device, and QEMU is slow. For me, no motivation to suffer it. Wishing you good luck.

    I have a couple of devices what I could use for testing. I don't think that WinPE packages differ that much of those used in full Windows, or there might not be any difference at all. QEMU is kinda slow to use though compared to real hardware, even on powerful systems.

    Testing stuff on QEMU takes a lot of patience. Win10 ARM32 build 15035 takes almost 10 minutes to boot even on Ryzen 7 2700 and NVMe SSD. Maybe x86 32-bit WinPE could accept full Windows packages? It would be easier to test than ARM32.

    I found that the System component size of 20241.1000 ServerStandard is 6.5 GB (including some ServerDatacenter small packages).

    I took a look of WinSxS on WinPE ARM32 10.0.20201.1000 and it has some interesting packages, like themes and login screen related stuff. Both of those are not used in WinPE, it uses basic theme and doesn't have any login screen.
