@xinso how can I create/construct/reconstruct ProfessionalSingleLanguage virtual edition? It is written in some editions info xmls but I don't know how to get it. Thanks in advance
If from 17134.1 forward, ProfessionalSingleLanguage is Virtual edition of Professional. i.e. ProfessionalEdition + ProfessionalSingleLanguage key. 1. Mount Professional install.wim to C:\MOUNT (any edition of ProfessionalEdition families) 2. Add ProfessionalSingleLanguage key 3. Delete C:\Windows\Professional.xml 4. Copy C:\Windows\servicing\Editions\ProfessionalSingleLanguageEdition.xml to C:\Windows 5. Rename C:\Windows\ProfessionalSingleLanguageEdition.xml as ProfessionalSingleLanguage.xml 6. Run CMD as Administrator 7. Run the following command line Code: dism /english /image:C:\MOUNT /apply-unattend:C:\MOUNT\Windows\ProfessionalSingleLanguage.xml 8. Save & Unmount 9. Modify install.wim Information as follows. Code: <NAME>Windows 10 ProfessionalSingleLanguage</NAME> <DESCRIPTION>Windows 10 ProfessionalSingleLanguage</DESCRIPTION> <FLAGS>ProfessionalSingleLanguage</FLAGS> <DISPLAYNAME>Windows 10 Pro Single Language</DISPLAYNAME> <DISPLAYDESCRIPTION>Windows 10 Pro Single Language</DISPLAYDESCRIPTION> 10. a. Rename install.wim as 1. wim b. Export 1. wim to install.wim c. Delete 1.wim [ProfessionalEdition families in C:\Windows\servicing\Editions] Windows 10 19041 Code: EducationEdition.xml EnterpriseEdition.xml IoTEnterpriseEdition.xml ProfessionalCountrySpecificEdition.xml ProfessionalEdition.xml ProfessionalEducationEdition.xml ProfessionalSingleLanguageEdition.xml ProfessionalWorkstationEdition.xml ServerRdshEdition.xml Windows 11 22621 Code: CloudEditionEdition.xml EducationEdition.xml EnterpriseEdition.xml IoTEnterpriseEdition.xml ProfessionalCountrySpecificEdition.xml ProfessionalEdition.xml ProfessionalEducationEdition.xml ProfessionalSingleLanguageEdition.xml ProfessionalWorkstationEdition.xml ServerRdshEdition.xml PS: If you Construct ProfessionalEdition without key, its default key is "Enterprise".
Then what is the right methode, would you be kind enough to share the right one, please. I've not tested xinso's methode yet.

No problem bro, if it could not be made with official way, we can remove unnecessary "N" packages from image. In this way we can also keep Portable Devices capability.
You can acutally remove non-N exclusive packages manually. But don't expect "Professional N Single Languge" branding anywhere.
LAPs, not for Core(N). No Group policy editor does not necessarily mean that it does not need Group policy. i.e. Availability is one thing; Applicability is another.
