Windows 10: Switching out of S mode

I bought a Lenovo laptop for our son for Christmas. It currently has windows 10 in S mode. While setting it up for him i found out that some of the games he plays can’t be downloaded while running S mode. I realized switching out of S mode is a one way street so I’m being cautious about it. I’ve done some asking around and was told that 4GB Ram is not going to be enough to run the device in full Windows 10. I also saw some suggestions to do a “clean install” of Windows 10 to eliminate some of the bloatware. I also read that having an SSD could compensate for the lack of Ram. The laptop RAM is not upgradeable. Could anyone give me some advice on what to do?
