I have heard switching out of S mode will slow down the operating system. Does the link / instructions help to get around that problem. It should be made clear when you are ordering that you are limited to S mode (my item: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 w/ i5). null

my Dept has told me the following: If you take it out of S Mode it will run extremely slow and not function properly as it will not have the resources to properly run the regular version of Windows 10. Is this correct?

The Switching out of Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System will not slow the system down. The software installed after the switch is usually the reason for any noticeable slowdown of the computer. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, does 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. Here is a link to more information and 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
