Can I install non-Microsoft programs on it? null

Correcting CyberspaceCadet: S mode CAN be reversed. There are two way: edit the Registry, or perform a factory reset on the computer. This second method, unfortunately, also wipes your drive. But you can't have everything!

Yes of course you can always install non Microsoft apps onto a Microsoft computer, there is a misconception that you cannot. The computers are set up to automatically run in S Mode, safe mode, you can turn this off but you can never turn it back on. Search how to do it. You can do anything tou can dream of with a windows computer. You just need to know where to look and how to shuffle around certain things.

Thank you for your question. The 15-fd0107dx laptop has the Windows 11 Home in S mode operating system. You can easily take it out of S mode, which will then allow you to load non-Microsoft programs onto it.
