    Working from home all of a sudden I was lost. I was use to working from 2 screens but could only bring one home. This filled the gap.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 Laptop, model number 81N3009BUS. This is a mid-level, moderate use configuration, with its AMD A6-9225 processor. This Dual-Core processor has a base speed of 2.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.0GHz. This configuration has 4GB of RAM. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 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 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.

      You can check the audio from your computer on another site. If you get audio from the computer on any site other than Facebook Life, the problem is with Facebook Live.

      The Lenovo S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System installed. No product key is necessary to activate Windows 10 S-Mode on this computer. It is possible that the computer was setup by a previous user, a reset to original factory settings should restore the computer and allow you to activate Windows 10 S-Mode. This system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right near the headphone jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
