Enable Windows Sandbox in Windows 10 Home

If you happen to have Windows 10 Home as your primary operating system, then chances are that you already noticed that it is missing several important features, which are solely available for the Pro version. From BitLocker Device Encryption to Windows Information Protection to Group Policy and virtual machine, all these features – along with numerous others – are not available for Windows 10 Home.

As the name suggests, Enable Windows Sandbox in Windows 10 Home is a tool containing a batch file that enables you to install and uninstall the Hyper-V feature in the aforementioned operating system. On a side note, the Hyper-V is actually a relatively new feature for the Pro version as well, considering that it was introduced with the 1903 patch.

It is important to note that you need to make sure that you meet all the requirements for installing Sandbox, as otherwise you cannot activate the virtual machine. Moreover, according to the developer, the main reason why you can preview, but not activate it is because the files are already present in the operating system.

You can get started by running the BAT file, preferably using an account with Administrator rights, and the app begins to load all of the packages. After a restart, you should be able to access and activate Sandbox.
