[Mario Brusco]

Tracy, could you enlighten us on how to do this for those of us who
might want to buy a new computer with Windows 11?

Apparently, Microsoft has created a default mode in Windows 11 for some 
computers so that you can only install Microsoft products.  You have to 
turn off S mode before you can install Jaws, NVDA, or Zoomtest.  Gee 
thanks Microsoft.

If you call the Microsoft Disability Answer desk, they can hopefully 
help you switch it from Windows S mode to a full operating mode. Windows 
S is secured so that it can only run Microsoft Store software, Magnifier 
and other Microsoft accessibility options. Many of the bottom end 
computers operate in Windows S.

I bought a tiny HP Stream laptop running Windows 11, which I plan/hope 
to give to someone for Xmas. The problem is that I can’t install 
anything on it that doesn’t come from the Microsoft store, like NVDA. I 
have enabled Developer Mode in Settings and restarted the machine, but 
it still acts as if it is not in developer mode? Can anyone suggest a 
cause, like maybe some piece of pre-installed junk software that needs 
to be removed? Thanks.
