Getting Windows out of S mode??

[crazypiglady]

So I’m trying to instal SIMs on my family laptop…I get so far & it says I need to switch out of S mode, but the ‘Get’ button for that it greyed out so I can’t click it, can anyone help?? I just want to download a game 🤣

Google is your friend. Also, some devices can't remove S mode, hopefully yours isn't one of them

S mode is a "security" mode. It means you can only install apps from the microsoft store. It depends on your version of windows and it's a one way process.

Ooo which version of sims? It's a great game!

When I’ve tried to turn it off, the ‘Get’ button is greyed out, I’ve read online that’s something to do with administrator permissions but it’s a home laptop, I presume I am the administrator?! And I don’t know how to turn it off? I’m brand new to Sims so was going to download the basic free package then explore what’s available - would you recommend any particular packs?
