UUP dump: ConvertConfig.ini with SkipWinRE=1

[Lex24]

I use UUP dump as the source of Windows 11 installation files and always set SkipWinRE=1, which makes install.wim a bit smaller and the whole UUP dump process a bit faster. Here is an example of my ConvertConfig.ini:

[convert-UUP]
AutoStart    =1
AddUpdates   =1
Cleanup      =0
ResetBase    =0
NetFx3       =0
StartVirtual =0
wim2esd      =0
SkipISO      =1
SkipWinRE    =1
ForceDism    =0
RefESD       =0

[create_virtual_editions]
vAutoStart   =1
vDeleteSource=0
vPreserve    =0
vwim2esd     =0
vSkipISO     =0
vAutoEditions=Enterprise

Can such a slightly trimmed version of Windows 11 installation source be used with NTLite or is better to stick with the default SkipWinRE=0?

For those not familiar with this setting, when SkipWinRE=1, after Windows 11 installation Windows Recovery Environment has fewer options than the standard version and looks as follows (it can be accessed with Ctrl+Shift+(Power/Restart):

NTLite can remove WinRE from the normal W11 image, so whether you choose to SkipWinRE in UUP dump is not critical.

there is also skipedge 1or 2 variable in original script. but uupdump doesn't include it. i think it works on w10
