  • QuestionWill this laptop run the turbotax exe file?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hey, Out of the box, this won't be the case, as this system features Windows 11 Home in S mode as its operating system. 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 run TurboTax with this laptop, 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 feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

  • QuestionPrevious question about the ability to run linux on this laptop was answered Yes. Which variety/version is compatible?

    Asked by LookingForAlternateOS.

    • Answer Hey, There isn't a record of the individual Linux based platforms that's completely compatible with the system, partly due to the number of Linux based operating systems out there. There have been some user reviews of the system that shared that they used "newer" version of Mint, but this hasn't been tested by Lenovo and variables like driver compatibility can be a factor with these platform versions.
