Q: Can you do Chrome? Can u surf net offend. Can u watch Netflix?
A: Once you switch out of Windows S mode (which is easy--just google "switching out of Windows S mode" and follow the instructions), you can download and use Chrome, surf the internet, and watch Netflix.
A: Thank you for the question. S mode is a version of Windows 10 or Windows 11 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from the Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing. Apps and programs work the same as non-S Mode. You can switch out of S Mode (free, easy, not reversible) for the typical Home version of Windows, if you'd like.

If you prefer Windows 11 Home, you can convert the laptop (free, easy, not reversible) for more flexibility including the use of your preferred browser.
