    Is there a way Core to all editions (including N editions)?
    Whatever127's Windows Editions Reconstruction Project for Win 8.1, his script converts Core to Bing N (CoreConnectedN).

    Many thanks for the new post.

    If you open 3.xml in coreconnectedn_9600_ir5_x64.7z, you'll see it requires CoreN to be converted to CoreConnectedN. I think whatever127 just forgot to write an "N" in the table after Core.

    By the way it's possible to convert Core to any other edition, the only thing you need is all the files that the certain target edition needs and the source edition doesn't have.

    Perhaps people think that Core/Starter are lighter while usually the opposite is true.

    As a general rule the higher is the official price of the SKU the leaner is the installed OS.

    The lightest Windows SKUs are Servers (w/o server roles enabled), then LTSx, then Enterprise/Education and so on...

    I've tried the Windows 8.1 Starter converter, it may ask more components when I use IR5 image.

    It's better to use RTM to try.

    From what I know, Bing Editions (CoreConnected) are a dead end. You need the true Core Edition.

    Can you share some details about the steps? It doesn't seem to be an edition related problem if the VM cannot boot. I had no problems either on Hyper-V or on a physical machine.

    Never used that build, but for sure you should either disable Hyper-V or use it.

    Using Vbox with Hyper-V enabled makes the former super slow as the turtle icon clearly indicates.

    The situation improved on Win11 but still there is no point to use VBox in "slow" mode unless you need to use Hyper-V and Vbox at the same time.
