For those who would like more details for what I have done already...
The changes I have made to the clean installation of Windows 10 Home:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To enable the hidden "Administrator" account in Windows 10 Home, from an elevated command prompt (run as administrator):
Net user administrator /active:yes
To set a password for "Administrator", from an elevated Command Prompt:
Net Users Administrator *
and hit Enter. Now you will see new line to type a new password for administrator - and your new Administrator account is all set and ready on the next reboot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enabling "Group Policy Editor" in the Home version create a .bat file with the following:
@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >Files.txt
dir /b C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>Files.txt
echo Installing Group Policy Editor...
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . Files.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\%%i"
echo.
echo Installation complete.
echo.
pause
Run from an elevated command prompt. (run as administrator)
Using the above, you enable the Group Policy Editor in Windows 10 Home Edition (8 & 7 too, I believe), which is not enabled by default in the Home version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other good thing to use is
Easy Context Menu <-- direct download link.
With this program, you can add to the right click context menu "Copy to Folder...", "Move to Folder...",
and my favorite "Take Ownership", which allows you to delete/change files or folders blocked by "SYSTEM" or "TRUSTEDINSTALLER", plus many
other tweaks.
As a cautionary note: DO NOT MAKE THESE CHANGES unless you have a backup of your system,
and secondly don't do it unless you know what you are doing.
The "Administrator" account enabling is well documented in many places on the internet.
The enabling of "Group Policy Editor" is also well documented...
