    Well, I'm thinking about how to build this...

    I would need to try to rebuild from some edition that leads to Home (core) and then edit the CoreEdition files and try to do it in the Starter + LTSC License style...

    edit: I think the best option will be to start from Windows 11 Pro, then remove the professional package and start with the Home (core) edition with this edition already rebuilt.

    I think there is no way to integrate LCU with constructed 22H2 LTSC.
    24H2 is reasonable, however lose access of VirtualBox's headless

    try using the files from this rebuild:
    https://forums.mydigitallife.net/th...-editions-reconstructions.88605/#post-1850491
    Search: "Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 22H2 (22621.1)"

    Download the script and inside is "MSU_to_esd_and_Modded_CU" with the necessary packages to rebuild SSU and LCU..

    I think this should be enough..

    @Ace2
    Is there a way to remove the core edition in Windows 11 Home (core) and then reinstall it with a rebuilt core edition?

    I assume not, as I believe it requires an active edition to install another one..

    What is your opinion, friend?

    Windows 11 26100.1 Home Style Starter with EnterpriseS license

    So far I think the way to make this happen is to use an install.wim of EnterpriseS or IoTEnterpriseS and then convert to Home + Style Starter.

    Crazy ideas. Good luck.

    Question or ideas wellcome. If i find a way to bypass file hash check. Forexample enterpriseg ppdlic contains en-us/zh-cn value. We remove it but ppdlic hash changes and system catches this and gives error. If i bypass the hash check what is the probability new updates change ppdlic file again and the new file which has en-us/zh-cn restore?

    With 1742 update all the manifests, sxs folders will be 1742 number? They say the new base upgrade 26100.1 to 26100.1742.

    You would need two lots of rebuilt edition Core .mums 1st set called Test to remove & replace official Core, 2nd set called Core to remove Test and now you have your rebuild Core edition installed...

    How is this done? Create two SXs?

    One official and one reconstructed?

    All these packages are EnterpriseS and Core.

    I need it to be Starter style..

    Basically, Windows 11 Home Starter Style + EnterpriseS License.

    The license is for EnterpriseS updates.

    Also, where would it be converted from? PRO, Home, EnterpriseS?
