The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop model number 81WE00NKUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. To load APPs from outside the Microsoft Store you will need to switch to Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode. Whether you will experience issues once you switch out of S-Mode will depend on the requirements and compatibility of the software you install. Check with the APPs publisher's website to be sure this laptop meets the requirements of the APP and is compatible with the APP.
