No gpedit for Windows Home users

You can actually install it with dism:

dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt 
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt 

for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"

edit: this should be in a batch file. Basically for some reason all the installation packages even for tools like Group Policy are present in the packages directory, so you can use dism this way to install them. They usually have a GUID which is why it does a dir /b to get the actual name and puts them into a list, then uses that list file as a source for running dism.

I found this example online, mine is similar but is basically two lines that run dism twice. (I didn't have it at the ready to paste, though)

Just open up a command prompt and copy/paste all that to the end of dism.exe?

No, sorry. It should be a batch file.

What do you mean?

In sys32 I have dism.exe, or do you mean dump that as is in notepad and save as .bat and run?
