I'm trying to follow the guide above but I can't access the Local Group Policy Editor on Windows home.

Is there a way to enable hardware acceleration without windows pro?

You generally don't need to do anything with the Local Group Policy Editor. That's more of a troubleshooting step if you have issues.

If you don't use Windows Remote Desktop you can skip that step.
