Microsoft-Veried Security
With Windows 10 in S mode, your favorite applications, such as Oce,
Evernote and Spotify are available from the Microsoft Store where they’re
Microsoft-veried 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 les 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.
