When I follow the steps in the Microsoft Store to try to switch out of S mode, all I get is a message:

"Something happened and we couldn't start the upgrade"

and a Try Again button.

    Tried all the things yesterday no success. Today turned it on and hit the Get button and it worked. No clue didn't do anything different. Mom had a computer didn't do any of the steps and tried tonight and got out on the first attempt...possibly it was a server issue over the weekend.

    Everybody, please start returning your computers to the stores and put a STOP to this foolish from Micrsoft.

    When I buy a automobile the salesperson doesn't take in the back to help install the engine!

    This is not how customers should be treated. There is NOT much information on this substantial change in process.
