Windows 10 S Mode is designed for speed and security, only allowing you to install apps from the Microsoft Store. Windows 10 S is often found on cheaper laptops to cut costs and make a device more secure. In this tutorial, we look at how to switch to Windows 10 Home, Pro, Enterprise, or Education.
Note that switching is a one-way switch, meaning if you switch from S mode to Home, Pro, Enterprise, or Education, you can't go back to Windows 10 S later.
You should also back up anything important to you, including apps, photos, videos, and music.
Click Start > Settings Update & security > Activation.
Look for Switch to (your version of Windows). You can only switch to the version of Windows that was installed in S mode.
Click on Go to the Microsoft Store.
Click on Get under Switch out of S mode.
Click on Install when ready.
Click on Yes, let's go.
Windows will run everything in the background, and no reboot is required.
