    Restricted to MS Edge only, takes forever to load, I was already prompted to install updates and I have this laptop for less than 2 weeks. Very disappointed. Maybe I am doing something wrong, IDK, but so far, am not a fan! Will be returning.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15 laptop, model number 81N3009BUS, 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. To install any programs that are not available at the Microsoft Store, you will need to switch out of Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home Operating System: 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 Lenovo
