[Guide by Xinso] Adding Gui to Server Core - 1.22v

You need to login to view this posts content.

 

I want the experience of how it will be like to work with OS that slim as linux, with all those infrastructures not existed
and might also compare it to lited windows, and then maybe shorten and improve the lite process

@Atari800XL this question is more specific, im asking if its possible to make the already exist regs and files and script to make it work, without rebuilding too much the script...
and also some guidance

duno if its stable enuf , im with rs1 version for now

edit:
it would be nice to find a way to skip all the parents packages , that need to be installed so explorer would work, if not it will be gui server or ltsb which ok i guess,
but duno about stability if its worth the work

services of audio hasn't created after adding audio package

edit2:
i export the regs to core and its running, but i guess its not configured so its wont work
need to add device manager

 

Yes rs1 is should be stabler i assume

 

server with gui =\ server core with gui of WIN10SE pe
its much liter

WIN10SE PE is lego os based on WinPE

server core is more tested os and stable and have same features as normal os
just console mode
combine them we might get the Windows we always wanted
similar to Windows server 2012 core with gui enabled

 

people with slow hdd laptop, would like to have thin pc version of windows 10
lite process today is just too painful

 

@xinso
with the tweak u found can package from server 2012 be added to server 2016?

 

Server 2012 have the packages that related to shell and mmc infra specifically and have small footprint on the system without too much dependency

edit:
im not sure that sxsextract extract all the files
