Are you trying to say that switching between Core and LTSC failed?

If so, which version?

 

No I use 19042.662 Core to LTSC with no problem. I just don't see the need to switch back to Core.

 

Then it makes no difference between Core and Professional.

 

Back to the drawing board. I have more studying to do.....

 

Yes, I have my own things to take care of too.

 

Not a problem. What made me switch is because these features...

Code:

Windows Sandbox
Hyper-V
Assigned Access 8.1   
BitLocker
Business Store   
Conditional Access
Device Guard   
Encrypting File System

Joining a domain and Group Policy management   
Joining a Microsoft Azure Active Directory
Private catalog

Some features are there, just not enabled by default

Sir, what is " Home standalone", how it differs from Core or SingleLanguage?

Were you intended to provide "create.cmd" (and probably MUM?) Or last piece of code is it? Looks strange (

 

Removing Education

Pure Core only (not able to upgrade to those removed editions)

CoreCountrySpecific is for zh-CN only. And it includes upgradable editions too.

CoreSingleLanguage is allowed to use one language only. It is a Virtual edition of latest Core. i.e. Core and CoreSingleLanguage share the same image, like Professional and other virtual editions share one same image (not able to be removed individually).

 

Can I replace langpack in CoreCountrySpecific for any other?
I also have ProfessionalSingleLanguage but rarely hear about it
