Can any browser be used or installed? null

Hey Tom, Out of the box, your browser options are limited to Microsoft Edge and the browser options offered in the Microsoft Store. This is because this configuration of the IdeaPad Slim 3 ships with Windows 11 Home in S mode. 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 use your browser of choice, 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!
