Convert Windows Server to Workstation (Offline)

I'm sorry, what? your original "SKUwitch"?
When exactly did you tell the world about this copy-pasting certs and switching edition method? Because I think we have known that edition switch method for more than a decade.

 

I think it's plain English, even if I'm not mother tongue.

"World"? In the link you already seen

Trusted people / friends many years ago.

"We" who?

Is it a "plurale maiestatis" or what?

Paste a link with your tutorial or whatever, or just stay silent.

What I know is that after I decided to finally post my method, strangely a number of script popped out in no time obviously none of them with a mention to the source.

That said I took care to reply to your message even if your tone is not a great example of good manners.

I have no idea of who are you, I never heard about anything of useful you posted and your nickname is not coming from the stone age.

In short what the heck you want?

 

That method is there for many years and anyone who read MDL in-depth and is into this kind of things knows that. Search slmgr /rilc and you will find various posts like this and this.

You can either believe that or keep believing you invented this method and people got to know that on Dec 29, 2021.

 

Kid. I got my first computer in 1982, my first PC few years later, I got my first smartphone 7 years before the Iphone and Android were things, in that 41 years timeframe happened that I learned "something".

I'm used to share my knowledge since the first time I got internet in '98. This specific argument (which is a byproduct of my attempts to activate permanently Win 8 Release Preview, in 2013 or so) is an exception, because I consider it a "delicate" argument, and because I though that talkng about that in a forum when things like KMS38 were considered taboo for many years, was not a good idea.

And even when I did, I did it w/o much fanfare.

Is that clear?

I don't want to be famous because my discovery I couldn't care less, but either I'm not happy if someone else try to becomes famous using my knowledge w/o references to the source.

 

Stop making the absurd claim that you invented that SKUwitch method. It's misinformation.

 

Ok, my discovery of the day, you are a troll.
Unfortunately that isn't a world first

Ok this might sound stupid but.

I was going to try this with Windows Media Center and I was just wondering if there is any way to customize the Windows version text that appears on settings without reshacking? For example "Windows Server 2022 Standard" > "Windows 2022 Professional"?

 

No, for custom text you need to reshack the mui inside the branding folder.

Matter of habits, but I never used such feature. If I need something disposable I just fire a copy of a random VM and eventually I delete it when finished what I had to do.

 

Scripts worked fine. Thank you and everyone who helped making these. Saves some time post install.

 

If

If I still want windows updates wich should be the script for the wim. And if I don't want drivers updates?

 

Umm, Why would you converting "Server" into "Workstation" on base Windows Server 2022?? It a server... Server has to run 24/7 daily with RAIDs, Printing, VPN's and File-shared.. What the point to waste time converting.. Just use Windows 10 or 11 (any edition)..

The same point it had at the time of "XP52", the server version has no corresponding client in both cases.

Aside those specific cases the point of switching in general is usual temporary, to install a driver or a sw unsupported on server.
