I am running windows 10, it states my computer does have the requirements to run 11, what is S mode
Windows 10 has more bloatware than 11 but, 11 still has its fare share. However you can follow the above link or video to remove them.
In short S mode you can only install apps from Microsoft and can only use the Edge browser.
Win 11 Pro is another option as it would be cheaper than buying a new laptop only to have the same problem.
