Bought a small laptop yesterday from PC World. I know… I know.
A Geo thing 128 gb whatever. All it’s for is email a bit of left handed browsing, and Sky Go.
The child at PC World said it has Windows 10 S but is easy to turn off and have the normal OS. They could do it in store for £40. I declined with a pompous wave of my hand.
How in the world of fuck, do you turn off S mode?
I’ve followed the instructions but it is saying that I cant activate windows… some bullshit about not being able to verify the edition of windows installed on it.
Fuck I.T. all the way to hell. Any help gratefully appreciated and ignored.
Make sure lid is shut,flip it over and remove the 10 holding screws of the base
Then carefully smash it with a hammer
After that,go back to pc world with your tail between your legs and buy the right laptop
Press the “Get” button under the “Switch out of S Mode” section and wait for the process to complete.
Take note that switching out of S Mode is a one-way process. Once you’ve switched out, there’s no going back. You can, however, start enjoying third-party apps that are not in the Microsoft Store.
