    Before RS4, there are EditionPack-Core, EditionPack-Professional, and EditionPack-Enterprise. And each SKU has its own EditionSpecific.

    RS4:
    Core (Core + CoreSingleLanguage) = EditionPack-Core + EditionSpecific-Core
    CoreCountrySpecific = EditionPack-Core + EditionSpecific-CoreCountrySpecific
    All other SKUs = EditionPack-Enterprise + EditionSpecific-Enterprise

    RS5:
    Core (Core + CoreSingleLanguage) = Client-Desktop-Required + EditionPack-Core + EditionSpecific-Core
    CoreCountrySpecific = Client-Desktop-Required + EditionPack-Core + EditionSpecific-CoreCountrySpecific
    All other SKUs = Client-Desktop-Required + EditionPack-Professional + EditionSpecific-Professional

    The secret of All other SKUs is in EditionSpecific-Professional. It includes certificates of All other SKUs. So, Key defines and changes SKU.

    In other words, the content of All other SKUs is same, only differ in Keys.

    This is why there are only CoreCountrySpecific, Core, and Pro.

    In other words, the RS4 RS5 architecture is the same, key determines the function state.

    Have you thought about it? RS5 Core and all other SKUs, can be converted through the key version, in this case, the conversion of the version there is no difference?

    Core image includes all other SKUs. NOT the same.

    Five SKU groups. And in each group, the Key defines SKU.

    Done.

    C:\Windows\System32\config\SAM?

    How to? 11 -> 10

    Copy from Server? No. BSOD.

    Built-in Administrator Account enabled Offline (Load SAM to 1)
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\1\SAM\Domains\Account\Users\000001F4]
    "F"=hex:03,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,e0,fb,3d,0d,c4,ca,d3,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
      f4,01,00,00,01,02,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,04,00,01,00,00,00,00,\
      00,00,00,00,00,00,00
    
    But there is not such a 000001F4 key prior to installation.

    Interesting! No need to do "net user administrator /active:yes" ?
    I think you have to use NSUDO to edit SAM..
