Q: Is it possible for the owner to upgrade the ram and, if so, how difficult is it? Max Ram?
A: Yes. You must purchase DDR4-2400 SODIMM laptop memeory for it work well with the built in memory. The person who said a "CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN" must upgrade it is only saying that to either boost "THE GEEK SQUAD"'s revenue or is trying to cover their backside. It is actually very easy to upgrade. Remove the 10 screws holding the bottom on, pull at the plastic carefully up by the display hinge, and the bottom will pop off. There is a small metal black panel by the existing hard drive. Under that panel is the M.2 slot for a new hard drive and the DDR4 slot for a single memory chip to be installed. There are 3 screw that hold that metal panel in place, along with 3 small squeeze clips. The squeeze clips do not require any tools to remove, just gently pulling straight up. Take not of the 3 screws you are removing cause they are different than the bottom panel screws. Once you have that panel off, just clip in your new memory chip, making sure you have the notch aligned properly, and snap it in place. Then re-assemble by following the instructions above in reverse order. Same instructions apply for installing a new M.2 drive. And this DOES take the NVMe type for even better performance. Even though it is only an I-3 core processor, it actually does a really good job with the simple stuff, and pretty good with some of the more complex.

Q: Windows 10 Home in S mode ?
A: I volunteer helping a lot of people (friends, church, elderly in retirement homes) with their computer issues. I have been able to figure out shortcuts and various ways to help them get around problems. However, this one is new. An elderly friend purchased a new laptop from Best Buy and asked my help in setting it up, adding Chrome and Firefox, putting on her own antivirus, plus a few other things. I was able to set up the machine skirting the “Microsoft Account” (that should not be a requirement), and got it setup using a local account. Then we discovered that her new laptop has “Win10 S Mode”. Windows Store requires an account. How do I disable S Mode without an account? She does not want a MS account, and does not want a Store account, she just wants to install her own stuff.
Q: Is this a good computer for a college student taking online classes?
