devices sold in S mode are aimed at 'appliance' level home users - who have become used to the curated ecosystem of iOS and Android rather than the 'fiddling' that traditional desktop (and laptop) deployments of various OSes have needed
as you correctly point out you can take such machines out of S mode and into the 'normal' consumer Win 10 / 11 'home' editions relatively easily

Nicola,
I use chirp both on my Mac and on a Dell Inspiron 15 3000. It came to me in S - mode but I found a setting that let me take it into regular Windows Home mode. S-mode is just a security mode that won’t allow you to load software except from the Microsoft store.
As far was the Surface goes, I can’t tell you. That’s why I bought the Dell - because I’m sure that it will run anything I want that’s for Windows and is ham related.

and you have not answered the question
this OPs question was about S mode - and the answer to that depends on whether Chirp and signed and available in the Smode libraries or whether the device needs to be taken to 'normal' windows to install chirp and any drivers for the programming leads etc

stay with windows 10, the program works with 10 but no information about windows 11 compatibility.

I’m trying to help my boyfriend’s Dad pick out a laptop that he can install CHIRP on and needed to know whether the Microsoft Surface Laptops running Windows 10 and Windows 11 in S Mode were compatible. I read through everything I could. I’m tech savvy but know nothing about Ham Radios. I don’t want him to purchase a computer that he can’t download and run CHIRP on. Thank you!
