If you switch out of S mode you can download anything. Just go to the Microsoft store and type s mode in the search bar. You’ll find the app that is required to switch out of s mode.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey there, thanks for your inquiry. Since the system comes with Windows 11 Home S mode preinstalled, a more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System that only allows the downloading of applications from the Microsoft Store, you are limited to apps that are available in the Microsoft Store. Although, once you switch out of S mode to standard Windows 11 Home, you can download essentially all programs that are compatible with this Flex 5i. Here is a link to a Microsoft webpage that shares how to make the switch: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85
