Switching out of s mode?

[Kbug09]

I need advice! I recently got an HP Laptop that came with windows 11 in S mode. It has an intel celeron processor, 4GB of memory and 64GB EMMC. I wanted to download discord but it is not in the Microsoft app store so I was considering switching out of S mode. any reason why I shouldn't?

Not really. The only "loss" will be the "security" of users (spouse, kids, ...) installing apps that might be dubious. It won't run any slower or faster and there will little if any change in disk footprint.

S mode difference is only the restriction of app installation source. There's no difference otherwise. It won't be any faster nor slower. Since it's sporting eMMC, I'd assume it's already as slow as it gets.
