What does it mean "Windows 11 Home in S Mode"? null

This can be considered Microsoft's version of Chromebooks. It means that only software from the MS (S)tore has been approved and can be installed into the computer. There is a simple workaround for this, if you want to install software not on the Store (such as the Chrome browser).

Thank you for asking! Windows 11 in S mode is a version of Windows 11 that's streamlined for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from Microsoft Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.
