Windows 10 20H2
See Windows Pro Install for initial Windows setup.
Important
GPO should be thought of a template framework that applies specific Registry changes based on specific conditions at the user, computer and domain level. Registry changes are extremely specific and apply to the user or computer.
Always prefer GPO over Registry edits where multiple options
are provided; but apply both as recent updates with Windows have been pushing
more and more GPO policies to only work in Education and Enterprise
versions.
A reboot is required once these changes are made.
Note
Any unlisted section/change assumes default settingss.
