  1. Problem when switching out of S Mode-something happened and we couldn't upgrade


    Unable to switch out S mode on my new lenova idea pad laptop. Please help!!


    Followed the below instructions but error out when I hit the get button in app store.

    1. 1
      On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings Gear-shaped Settings icon > Update & Security Circular arrows Sync icon > Activation.
    2. 2
      In the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, select Go to the Store. If you also see an "Upgrade your edition of Windows" section, be careful not to click the "Go to the Store" link that appears there.
    3. 3
      On the Switch out of S mode or similar page that appears in the Microsoft Store, select the Get button

    :)

  2. "We couldn`t create a new partition or locate an existing one."

    Try this:

    Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.

    Run diskpart.
    At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:

    list disk

    At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than "0" in the next command.

    select disk 0
    clean
    exit (to exit from diskpart)
    exit (to exit from the command prompt)

    That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as "Unallocated Space" as in the screenshot below.

  3. Airplane mode switch not working

    Since the troubleshooting steps that were provided did not resolve the issue, we suggest switching on the Radio Management Service. To do that, please follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type services.msc, then hit Enter.
    • Search for Radio Management Service.
    • Right-click, then choose Start.

    Note: Never ever set this service to "Disabled".

    Get back to us if the steps won't work.

    Switching out of S Mode

    I am having trouble switching my laptop out of S Mode. I went through the steps that are listed, and the Windows Store is updated and it won't let me click Get when you go to the screen to switch out of S mode.
