This review doesn’t even mention the main thing I want to know – what about S Mode? And it takes a long time to get to the my other concern – cost of space.
1) I received a Lenovo laptop running Windows 11 as a Christmas present. I can’t even get into Chrome, however. A dire warning pops up that the only way to do this is to take Windows out of “S Mode” – a once-only irreversible process that Microsoft warns will make the laptop vulnerable to all sorts of malware and glitches. Do I dare escape the clutches of the Microsoft Store, unable to run anythig not for sale there, stuck with Edge and One Drive forever? Will my laptop self-destruct if I take it out of S mode? Who knows? All that’s sure is that Microsoft won’t be liable. ‘We told you so!”
2) The free version of OneDrive only holds only up to 5 gigs. GoogleDrive is free up to 15 gigs. I’m already using about 12 G of that, It will cost me $2/month fto transfer my stuff to OneDrive – but on the plus side I’ll have 200 gigs total space.
Space is a minor issue though compared to the S Drive thing. Will Drive even work once S Mode is gone? Who knows what’s built into the disabling process?
