Fully functioning laptop.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Linnea, IdeaPad is a brand of Lenovo laptop that is offered with Windows and ChromeOS based operating system options. This IdeaPad does feature a version of Windows 11 Home, called Windows 11 Home in S mode. It is a more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System that only allows the downloading of applications from the Microsoft Store. If you try to launch or install an executable or .exe file, the system prevents it. Should you desire to switch to Windows 11 Home, here is a link to a Microsoft webpage that shares how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85 There are also configurations of the IdeaPad line that do not come with Windows 11 Home in S mode, like this IdeaPad 1i 15 that's offered on Best Buy's site: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-ideapad-1i-15-6-full-hd-touchscreen-laptop-intel-core-i5-1334u-16gb-memory-512gb-ssd-abyss-blue/6610890.p?skuId=6610890
