Q: Question1. Will converting this from Windows 11 safe mode to Windows 11 Home impact the speed, storage, or any other aspect of performance? 2. Is the preloaded Microsoft office only compatible with Office 365 or also the one-time purchase version of Microsoft?
Asked by Mds05.
- A:Answer Hi Mds05, thanks for your question. Converting from Windows 11 Home in S Mode can sometimes affect performance, as Windows 11 Home can use more background resources. We recommend staying within Windows 11 Home in S Mode if all of your intended apps are offered in the Microsoft Store. If your needs go beyond what is offered through the Microsoft Store, we recommend converting to Windows 11 Home to have greater control over your system. The included Microsoft Office Applications can be used with Microsoft Office Home 2024 as well as Microsoft Office 365. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any further questions.
