Yes. Follow the few steps that are documented by MS and Lenovo. Easy to do, bu it tends to fail for a while. Took me 24 hours to get it to finally accept the request. Probably an MS server issue.

Yes, you can switch out of S mode in Windows 11 to install an app that isn't available in the Microsoft Store; however, if you switch out of S mode, you'll need to keep using the standard version of Windows 11.
