Everything on Windows in S mode

Windows in S mode is faster and more energy-efficient than a Windows version that doesn't run on S mode. You don't need a powerful laptop, as the system is very light. As an extra advantage, the battery of your laptop lasts longer. You can only download programs from the Microsoft Store, so you're better protected from viruses.

With Windows in S mode, you can only download programs from the Microsoft Store. This means you can't install programs like Google Chrome or Steam. You can only work with browser like Edge or Firefox. Luckily, there are more and more well-known programs like Adobe Photoshop available in the Microsoft Store. All Windows apps are also approved by Microsoft, so there's less chance of viruses.

Windows in S mode looks a lot like Windows Home. You'll still find the classic Windows start menu and log in using Windows Hello. Because more and more programs are available in the Microsoft Store, Windows in S mode is ideal for various usage situations like everyday use or your studies.

Do you have a laptop with Windows in S mode, but would you rather have the regular version of Windows? You can easily turn off S mode via the settings.

Note: after disabling S mode, you can't turn it back on.
