Microsoft™-Verified Security
With Windows™ 10 in S mode, your favorite applications, such as Office,
Evernote and Spotify are available from the Microsoft™ Store where they’re
Microsoft™-verified for security. Feel secure when you’re online. Microsoft
Edge™, your default browser, gives you more protection against phishing
and socially-engineered malware than Chrome or Firefox.
Switching out of S Mode
Windows™ 10 in S mode is designed for security and performance,
exclusively running apps from the Microsoft™ Store. If you want to install an
app that isn’t available in the Microsoft™ Store, you’ll need to switch out of
S mode.
Note: Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won’t
be able to go back to Windows™ 10 in S mode. You may switch back only if
a software upgrade is made available. We recommend that you back up all
your files onto an external hard drive before switching OS. Switching out of S
mode is free of charge.
To switch out of S Mode, follow these steps:
1. Make sure you are logged into the Microsoft™ Store.
