“Can you switch this out of Windows S Mode to regular windows to allow installing of programs outside of the Microsoft store?”

• Easy peasy. But contrary to what almost everyone will tell you, you CAN switch back to S Mode. There is one major drawback, however: you will wipe your drive.

• Yes. Just try to run an unsupported app (e.g. CMD) and you'll get a pop-up. You need to be online because something is downloaded from the store to disable S. Once you switch S off, you can't go back.
