“Could you simplify the explanation a little more please - about the reasons why I would prefer the 64-bit OS instead of the standard Windows 10 S-Mode? I’m not understanding that at all. Also, if I want the 64-bit OS, how and when do I do that selection?”

Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. So if you use 3rd party software that is not available at the Microsoft Store, you will want to switch out of S-Mode to be able to use your software. 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 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
