      Hello, Kbaldman. We are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad has fallen short of your expectations and creating issues, leading to you returning it. For you and viewers of this post, this model ships with Windows 11 S-Mode installed. Windows 11 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing apps available (and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or need to install apps not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost – it’s quick and simple. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11 In the future, should you need assistance, feel free to reach out to our Tech Support team to help resolve your issues.

    window S is garbage, only after I installed a clean full version of windows 11 home that didn't have Venereal disease software installed it was fast and very little slowdown, its not the hardware its the software even though this is an entry level laptop with minimum hardware to run windows, I feel like manufacturers intentional cripple there products.

    The computer was a good value but it is slow and crashes quite a bit. I wouldn’t want to use it as my main computer or as an everyday laptop.

    Worst laptop ever. SUPER SLOW RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. NOTHING DOWNLOADED OR INSTALLED AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO RESPOND TO CLICKS, OPENING FOLDERS,ETC. Worst part is this was bought as a Christmas gift on Black Friday, by the time it was given as the Christmas present, it was out of the return period so best buy wouldn't take it back for a return. Now I'm stuck with a super slow laptop. Worst purchase I've made with best buy, will never do this again.
