Windows 10: enable group policy on Windows 10 Home Edition

I was wondering if there is any way for me to enable the edit group policy application (gpedit.msc) on Windows 10 Home edition.


I found an article [https://pureinfotech.com/add-group-policy-editor-gpeditmsc-windows-10-home/
] that claims it is possible to enable it by downloading an installer that will add the necessary files.


Now I would much rather see if there is a legit way to do this or if the only way possible is with the download provided in the article.



Thank you

GROUP POLICIES IN WINDOWS 10

You can change Group Policies by opening Group Policy Editor first. You can open it by following these steps:

• Log in an administrator account. If you are already logged in as an administrator, proceed to step 2.
  
• Press Windows + R to open Run.
• Type gpedit.msc and press Enter.
  

After opening Group Policy Editor, you can now make the necessary changes that you want.

Should you have more concerns, feel free to post.
