Q: Is this a basic computer user friendly? What is it’s basic functions?
A: This entry-level, Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 14 Laptop, model number 82V6S00000, ships with Windows 11 S-Mode, 64-bit Operating System installed: Windows 11 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. We always recommend you check the requirements and compatibility of any software you will be installing on your new computer, before you invest in any computer. Be sure your new computer can support the software you will need to use and your workload.
Q: Will this boot from usb to run chrome or linux?
A: Lenovo does not make this easy, but I did put Linux Mint Cinnamon (my favorite distro and de) on this machine. I tried to dual boot it and keep Windows, but Windows would not run/work. It complained that something was wrong and wanted to reset the system. I just chose to dump Windows and install only Linux MInt instead. Lenovo had it set up to delete the wifi card when I dumped Windows, so I had to find the means to install that missing driver, which complicated the move to Linux. (Wifi driver is: rtl8852be.) Now this Lenovo runs very fast with Linux on it. Have to warn anyone though that it was a chore. If you are an experienced Linux user, this machine can be converted. Want an easier experience, wait for good sale prices and buy Dell or ASUS. ASUS had sale prices the same a couple of months ago and I found it very easy to install Linux and it also dual boot installed properly. Lenovo and HP are doing much to thwart Linux.
