This unit may arrive in S Mode, meaning that no external .exe files can be
directly installed onto the unit. You may still install apps downloaded from the
Microsoft Store.
This is intended for higher security and performance of the unit.
If you want to install an app that isn’t available on the Microsoft Store, you’ll
need to switch out of S Mode.
You can easily switch out of S Mode, however, keep in mind that you cannot go
back to S Mode once switched.

appears there).
