Windows 10 S Mode to Windows 10

The problem they are complaining about is that those who want to stop using Windows 10 S Mode and install the full version of Windows for free, they are running into problems. Microsoft stated that switching from S Mode to a general version of Windows would be possible.

Many users prefer to use Windows 10 without the limitations of S Mode and not have to be limited to the Microsoft Store at any time to install applications. Those with a Surface Laptop, a model that came with Windows 10 S Mode are the ones experiencing this issue.

"

To return to the standard version, it was enough to enter the Settings menu>Windows Activation A shortcut that apparently does not work and offers an error that prevents you from jumping to the full version of windows 10.This is the image offered by the user Aleksohr as proof."
