Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, not as purchased. The surface go ships with Windows S - a trimmed down, secure version of windows 10. Windows S only allows apps from the Microsoft Store, which means you can't even install Google Chrome. You can choose to convert to Windows Home which will let you install whatever apps you want. With 8 GB memory and somewhat limited storage, I'd rather keep the installed Windows S.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Like with any device, please be sure to check the system requirements of the apps you wish to download, and compare them to the specs of the device. This will ensure you choose a device with specs that will run the apps optimally. We have heard feedback from the community, that sometimes switching out of Windows 10 in S mode has allowed our customers access to more apps.
