      Hello, Angela. We are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad 1 has not met your expectations. This model, along with other entry level laptops, ships with Windows 11 in S-Mode. 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 download what you are after, 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 Lenovo
