I thought the S version was unchangeable by the end consumer. Seems pretty straightforward to switch to 10. I don't ever see myself switching back to the S version, so that's not a problem.

rodrigaj Topic Author Offline Premium Member Posts: 103 Thank you received: 29	Another question: I am getting a free one year subscription for a product called bitdefender total security 2020 with my laptop. Is this something I should download and install, if all I will be using the laptop for is SHD plugin and Dirac?

Over the years they have all turned to bloatware and often have more security holes than without. Windows 10 has builtin security tools which should be good enough for your use case.
