  1. Windows 10 Surface - trouble switching out of S mode


    I'm going to preface this post by saying I am in no way good at anything tech and am completely lost.

    I am an avid Mac user for most of my computer needs, however I recently obtained a Microsoft Windows 10 Surface that was handed down to me. I'm fairly certain it is the very first original version, not a fancy updated one. I have been trying to download some applications from the internet that aren't available on the Windows store but have come to the realization that there is some sort of safety mechanism in place in order to stop this from happening.

    After doing some research I've discovered there is a way to turn this off and get the tablet into either Pro mode or get it out of S mode. However, since I have the original Surface tablet all of the directions online for doing this don't correlate with the options available on my device.

    So, my question to you is how may I turn this function off on the ORIGINAL surface tablet in order to download unverified applications. Or is this even possible on such an old device?

    Thanks in advance, and sorry for my horrendous lack of knowledge on the subject.

    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.
