Hello everyone,
This topic aims to explain how to install the Local Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) on the home versions of Windows 7/8/10, as this package is only available by default on Pro, Enterprise, and Ultimate versions of Windows 7/8/10.
P.S.: You need to be connected to the Internet and logged in as an administrator to complete this tutorial.
Let's get started...
1-Create a (New folder) on the desktop by right-clicking, then in the context menu click on "New" and then on "Folder", then rename the created folder as you see fit.
2-Open the folder you just created. Inside, create a (New text document) by right-clicking, then in the context menu click on "New" and then on "Text Document", then rename the created document by changing .txt to .bat (e.g.: "New text document.txt" to "Installgpedit.bat"), then press the "Enter" key twice to save the modification.
3-Right-click on the .bat file you created, then in the context menu click on "Edit", the notepad will then open. Copy and paste the following into the notepad, then save by pressing ctrl+S and close the notepad:
@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"
dir /b C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
dir /b C:\Windows\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:"C:\Windows\servicing\Packages\%%i"
pause
4-Right-click on the .bat file and click on "Run as administrator". The command prompt (CMD) will open and start downloading and installing the package from Microsoft's server; do not close the window and wait for the installation to complete.
5-When you see the following message "Press any key to continue...", it means the installation is complete. You can then close the window by pressing any key on your keyboard.
P.S.: Once the installation is complete, you can delete the folder and the .bat file created earlier.
That’s all for this tutorial, and I hope I have been clear enough in the explanations. May this be useful to you!

Hello,
there's an easier way: how to enable gpedit on Windows 10.
However, on a Home edition of Windows, the policies set by gpedit will not be taken into account....
