Hey, Yes, you Microsoft Edge is preinstalled, and you can download Chrome web browser, but it takes a couple steps. This is because this model IdeaPad Slim 3i ships with Windows 11 Home in S mode preinstalled. For context, 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 be able to download Chrome and other applications of your choosing outside of the Microsoft Store, here is a link to a Microsoft Support 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!
