Win8 system cannot find a solution for Group Policy

Under Windows systems, Group Policy is the primary tool for administrators to define and control programs, network resources, and operating system behavior for users and computers. Users can set policies on software or programs through policy groups, but there are some Win8 users run gpedit.msc to open Group Policy, the system prompts "Cannot find program", even if the user can not find the Group Policy list by hand, how do we solve the problem? Below look at the small series for you to provide solutions and reason analysis!

Cause analysis

The original notebook WIN8 system pre-installed is the home Chinese version win8, and there is no policy group function, so we have no way in the home version of the WIN8 system to use the policy group.

Solving method

We are not able to install policy groups in the home version of the WIN8 system, so if you want to implement the Policy Group feature, you can only replace the WIN8 Professional/WIN8 Enterprise Edition, or update the Advanced Win8.1 Professional or Enterprise Edition.

In several versions of Microsoft's release, there are some differences, with the enterprise feature most fully equivalent to the WIN7 system's flagship version, let's look at what are the versions:

win8/8.1 has a total of several versions: 1, Enterprise (Enterprise Edition) 2, PROFESSIONALWMC (Professional Edition with Media Center) 3, Professional (Professional Edition, note: There are retail version and large customer version of the cent) 4, Core (normal edition) 5, Coresinglelanguage (Single language edition) 6, Corecountryspecific (Specific Country edition).

Simplified Chinese version is a single language version, belong to the OEM. No other language packs can be added after installation and the keys are not universal.

Enterprise alone into a mirror, is a large client version. The general core and professional in the same mirror, the retail version, which also makes many people are now using the version. The PROFESSIONALWMC version was upgraded on a professional basis, by adding functionality to the system.

If your win8.1 system does not have Group Policy, it is possible that the family version of your system, the Home Edition, does not have Group Policy in the WINDOWS8 system, so if you want to use Group Policy, you need to upgrade the system to a professional version or an enterprise version to resolve it!
