Q: what Microsoft Operating System does this laptop run, Windows 10 or 11
A: It is running Windows 11S, which is basically the same as Windows 11, but you can only download apps from the Windows store. You can not download apps from Google, nor can you set Google/Chrome as your default browser. The default browser will always be Microsoft's Edge browser. You can access Google through Edge, but you won't be able to make Google your homepage. Windows 11S is supposed to be safer if you are not running any anti-virus software. However remember that you do have the option of switching to Windows 11 with a few keystrokes if you choose so even though this laptop is running Windows 11S, it's very simple to switch to 11. I hope I explained this well enough for you to understand what you will be getting without any surprises.
Q: Does this laptop have an additional internal slot for installing an NVME drive?
A: Here’s proof that you can add an additional SSD drive
Q: Is this laptop good for gaming? Like can I play vr chat?
A: That really will depend on the requirements and compatibility of the specific VR hardware and VR software you will be using. This Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15 Laptop, model number 82R1006VUS, ships with the Windows 11 S-Mode, 64-bit Operating System installed. We recommend you check with the specific VR hardware manufacturer's web site of the VR hardware you will be using, as well as the VR software publisher's web sites, for the specific VR software you want to use, for their compatibility with Windows 11 S-Mode 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11
Q: I'm wondering whether this computer can run MS Office products when not connected to the internet?
A: As long as you remove Windows S Mode (just Google how), and you install a copy of MS Office on the computer (not the online/cloud version), which will probably require an external USB CD-ROM/DVD drive (or an internet connection to download), you will be able to run MS Office applications without an internet connection.
Q: Can I download Google Chrome?
A: I’m finding it difficult. You need to remove the ‘S mode’ setting and I can’t figure out what that’s all about. It’s basically using a different operating system just to switch out of the Windows ‘S mode’ and have the ability to install Google Chrome.
Q: Does this computer have a hard drive?
A: The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15.6, model number 82R1006VUS, ships with a 128GB eMMC 5.1 drive on systemboard.
A: It's a secure version of Windows 11 where you can only get applications from the app store or Microsoft store but you can remove this feature for free through the Microsoft store.
