Very helpful! I picked out one that is perfect and since I won’t be there to help him use it we’re not doing a surface or a 2 in 1. Good to know about 11! Thank you so much! Sent from my iPhone Xs Max > On Jan 20, 2022, at 9:32 PM, Dave KG6ZJO > wrote: > > Not a windows expert, but from w

Windows mode S has NOTHING to do with Chromebooks. Not a single similarity. Mode S just means that all apps/programms must come from the Microsoft store. You can always swith off mode S. > On 20/01/2022 22:18 George Hale Jr. wrote: > > > I was told the windows S mode, is basically a chromebook

Not a windows expert, but from what I read the "S" mode is quickly & easily turned off. No problem. In S mode, you can only install apps from the Microsoft App Store. So most people turn that off on the first day. Then there may be an option to upgrade to Windows 11, and from what I hear, it's

You might be able to force it into windows 10 compatible by right clicking on the icon and changing how it behaves in the settings. You can do that in many of the windows versions as some programs are slow or windows hides all the compatibility stuff. On Thu, Jan 20, 2022, 8:11 PM robert decker

I’m trying to help my boyfriend’s Dad pick out a laptop that he can install CHIRP on and needed to know whether the Microsoft Surface Laptops running Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S Mode were compatible. I read through everything I could. I’m tech savvy but know nothing about Ham Radios. I don’t
