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.

running apps from the Microsoft Store. If you want to install an app that isn’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:
