    Switching from Windows 10 Home-S Mode to the same without -S mode


    Hi,


    We just bought a new HP laptop 2 days ago at Best Buy. We didn't notice didn't know what is it that it came with Windows 10 Home -S mode installed. When starting installation, my husband somehow opted out, installed Chrome and set up all the common sites with passwords, etc.


    Now today there was automatic Bios update after that the Windows opened again in -S mode. We cannot figure out how to turn it off and if it's possible at all or not. When we try to follow suggested steps e.g. go to Settings then Update & Security / Activation / Store, click on 'Get button' we're getting an error 'Something went wrong' with only 'Close button'


    I already tried HP support and was told that switching Windows is not managed by warranty and will be a chargeable service. Do I understand correctly that our other option is to return this laptop back to Best Buy and wait when the stores will open normally we bought this one online which we normally don't do?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. 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.

    Switching from Windows 10 Home-S Mode to the same without -S mode

    switching from tablet mode to laptop mode

    Hi,

    The concern you have encountered may be due to a corrupted file or a misconfigured setting. Windows 10's Tablet Mode provides a more touch-friendly experience by making all applications run at full screen and giving you a Start screen instead of a Start Menu.
    If you have a 2-in-1 device, Windows 10 asks you if you want to enter tablet mode every time you convert your notebook into a slate. Kindly follow the steps below to sort out the concern:

    • Click Settings from the Start menu
    • Click System, then select Tablet Mode in the left panel. A tablet mode submenu appear
    • Toggle "Make Windows more touch-friendly . . ." to on to enable Tablet mode. Or off to go to desktop mode
    • Configure the "When this device automatically switches" menu to let Windows 10 to switch modes on your 2-in-1 prompt or not prompt you.

    Should you have further concerns, feel free to post.

    Regards.
