Q: QuestionWhat does s mode mean
Asked by mad.
- A:Answer Windows Security mode. When using this version of Windows you can only use software (apps) that have been "blessed" by MS. For example, you cannot load or use Mozilla Firefox or Norton Security. Fairly easy to switch to regular Microsoft Windows for Home, which allows you to use software from other vendors. But my understanding is you can only switch it once and you cannot go back to S-mode once you've switched it to regular Windows. I immediately switched mine from S-mode to regular mode.

Q: QuestionWhat ram is this model
Asked by Yoyo333.
- A:Answer 8GB DDR4 PC4-19200 2400MHz 260 pin SO-DIMM I prefer Kingston and Crucial (for upgrades) but any memory on sale and meeting specs will do as they are usually all supplied by the same ram manufactures and meet spec.

Q: QuestionCan the Ram memory be upgraded and if it's possible what's the top
Asked by Ivo33.
- A:Answer 16 gigabytes maximum as 1 additional 8GB module, like any of these: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=8GB+2400Mhz+DDR4+Non-ECC+CL17+SODIMM&i=electronics&ref=nb_sb_noss_2 I'd go with the Crucial or Timetec Hynix (Hynix makes ram for most other brands) as they are totally inline with the exact specs from Dell's own site: https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-memory-upgrade-8gb-1rx8-ddr4-sodimm-2400mhz/apd/a9210967/memory

Q: QuestionCan I add another SSD or hard disk to increase its storage to 1 TB?
Asked by Angel.
- A:Answer I am 99% certain that the answer is "Yes", and I bought the computer with this in mind. The Dell Inspiron 3583 Service Manual has instructions for adding an SSD (see motherboard photo from the manual), so I'm confident that it can be done. I haven't yet done it, though, so I am not 100% certain.
