I've watched a few of Louis Rossmann's videos on right to repair. I
think he would tell you this is a planned way to force you to upgrade
and to always need to go to the vendor for repairs.

In the case of MS I think it is a way to control and force all software
vendors to be certified. I would expect certification to be long,
arduous, and very expensive.
In the case of this laptop I would remove the 11S and replace it with
Linux. This laptop may be discounted because it runs 11S and no one
wants 11S. If I were in need I would take an in-depth look at this
laptop because on it's face it looks like an extremely good deal.

It seems to be a trend in the industry to take away from customers the
ability to install what they want on their computers. It's been that
way with android devices since they began. Good luck finding a phone
or tablet where you the owner have root access to the device that you
bought. I get the impression Microsoft wants that in the PC market.

ABOUT WINDOWS 11 IN S MODE
Windows 11 in S mode is a version of Windows 11 that's streamlined
for security and performance, while providing a familiar Windows
experience. To increase security, it allows only apps from Microsoft
Store, and requires Microsoft Edge for safe browsing.
It's a crippled system !!!
