Can I use STEAM games on this laptop null

Hi kka, Before considering system requires to see if this IdeaPad can run the games you wish to play, by default, you cannot install the Steam app on this system as it features Windows 11 Home in S mode. For context, S mode 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 to download Steam, 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 Please let us know if you have any other questions!
