Windows 10: Windows 10 in S Mode - is it compatible with full edition of Microsoft Office 365 to be...

Hello,


I am considering buying a HP laptop which ships in 'OS: Windows 10 in S Mode'.

The machine will be used by all my family including parents and school kids.

Family will require use of MS office products primarily Word, Excel, Powerpoint.

Through school, my kids can avail of a free edition of Microsoft Office 365 when they supply their school email address.

I understand that in S mode I can only install apps from Microsoft store.


This is where I need your help because the online advice is confusing and contradictory:-

my question: Is Windows 10 in S Mode compatible with a full edition of Microsoft Office 365 to be activated using a school email address.


I've researched extensively on internet and cannot find conclusive advice:-

Some say yes. Some say no. Some say you need to exit S mode and take the one way migration into Windows 10 Home or Windows 10 pro.


I noticed one user with a similar issue said she also wanted to use a school account but she could only find the Store option 'Shop Office 365' which took here to the Microsoft Home Office buying options. Last advice to that user was ultimately to exist S mode, that case is linked here:

Most grateful for any advice please

Cortana & Office 365 Integration

We are trying to integrate Cortana with our Office 365 subscription, but it never works. Here are the steps we have done:

• Turned on Cortona in the Office 365 Admin portal
• We are using Windows 10 1703 – connected Office 365 service to Cortana

Did the same on windows 10 mobile with no luck, Cortana says its connected to Office 365, but sees no data and we are getting zero errors

We went rough office 365 support first and tried all fo their suggestions, they kicked us over to Windows support which is currently closed.

We are on v1703 with all updates in place, it does not work on Windows 10 desktop or mobile

any ideas? I can give you all steps 365 support had us run through if that will be helpful

Thank you

Doug
