How To Turn Off Windows S Mode Without Microsoft Account

 There is no official way to turn off Windows S Mode without a Microsoft account. However, there is a workaround that you can try.

1. Open the Settings app.

2. Go to System > About.

3. Under "Windows Specifications," look for the "Edition" label. If it says "Windows 10 Home in S mode" or "Windows 11 Home in S mode," then your computer is in S Mode.

4. Click the "Change product key" link.

5. Enter the product key for Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro.

6. Click the "Next" button.

7. Windows will now activate in Pro mode. You can then turn off S Mode by following these steps:

   1. Open the Settings app.
   2. Go to System > Activation.
   3. Under the "Switch to Windows 11 Home / Pro section," click "Go to the Store."
   4. This will open the Microsoft Store.
   5. In the Microsoft Store, click "Get" under the "Switch out of S Mode" app.
   6. Follow the on-screen instructions to turn off S Mode.

If you don't have a product key for Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro, you can also try the following workaround:

1. Disable Secure Boot in your computer's BIOS.
2. Reboot your computer.
3. Try to turn off S Mode as described in the steps above.

This workaround may work because disabling Secure Boot will allow you to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store, which is a requirement for turning off S Mode. However, it's important to note that disabling Secure Boot can also make your computer more vulnerable to malware attacks. So, you should only do this if you're sure that you want to turn off S Mode and you're willing to accept the security risks.

If you're still having trouble turning off S Mode, you can contact Microsoft support for help.

Here are some more details about the workarounds for turning off Windows S Mode without a Microsoft account:

• Changing the product key

This workaround works because Windows S Mode is only available on Windows 10 Home and Windows 11 Home editions. If you change the product key to a Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro edition, Windows will automatically switch out of S Mode.

To change the product key, you will need a product key for Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro. You can purchase a product key from Microsoft or from a third-party retailer.

Once you have the product key, follow these steps to change it:

1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to System > About.
3. Under "Windows Specifications," click the "Change product key" link.
4. Enter the product key for Windows 10 Pro or Windows 11 Pro.
5. Click the "Next" button.
6. Windows will now activate in Pro mode. You can then turn off S Mode by following the steps in the previous section.

• Disabling Secure Boot

Secure Boot is a security feature that helps to prevent your computer from running unauthorized software. However, it can also prevent you from turning off S Mode. If you disable Secure Boot, you will be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store, which is a requirement for turning off S Mode.

To disable Secure Boot, you will need to access your computer's BIOS. The BIOS is a set of low-level settings that control your computer's hardware. The exact steps for accessing the BIOS will vary depending on your computer's manufacturer.

Once you have accessed the BIOS, look for the setting for Secure Boot. The setting may be called "Secure Boot Enable" or something similar. Set the setting to "Disabled" and then save your changes.

Reboot your computer and try to turn off S Mode as described in the previous section.

It's important to note that disabling Secure Boot can also make your computer more vulnerable to malware attacks. So, you should only do this if you're sure that you want to turn off S Mode and you're willing to accept the security risks.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
