When purchasing a cheap laptop running Windows 10 S Mode - you are restricted to install apps from the Microsoft Store - which could be a severe limitation
The S mode has benefits - all apps are approved, and this theoretically will prevent virus or malware to be installed on the laptop
but if the application you want to install is not in the MS Store - then you are stuck with this message:
The way to solve this restriction is to switch out
This switching out operation is irreversible - and requires a Microsoft store account
once the switch is done, it feels like a liberation though...
How is it done - well, just follow this link instruction:
