How can I download Norton in Microsoft S Mode?
@Kristen_Wood Go to your respective Microsoft Store for Windows and download the app there. The Norton app for S mode has a limited feature set I may add but here are your options:
AI Overview
You can install the Norton 360 app directly from the Microsoft Store without leaving S Mode. However, it offers a limited feature set. For full Norton protection, you must switch your PC out of S Mode. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Option 1: Install the S Mode App
If you wish to keep Windows in S Mode, you are restricted to using Norton’s app designed for the Microsoft Store. [1, 2]
- Features included: Dark Web Monitoring, Secure VPN, Wi-Fi security alerts, Safe Web extensions for Microsoft Edge, and Privacy Monitor.
- Limitations: It does not include the full, traditional desktop antivirus scanner.
- How to get it: Go to your Norton Account, sign in, click Download, and select Get it from Microsoft to be redirected to the Microsoft Store. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Option 2: Switch Out of S Mode (For Full Norton)
To install the complete, fully functional Norton 360 desktop software, you must disable S Mode. Note: This process is permanent; you cannot revert to S Mode afterward. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Open your Windows Settings.
- Go to System > Activation.
- Look for the Switch to Windows Home/Pro (or Switch out of S Mode) section and click Go to the Store.
- On the Microsoft Store page that opens, click Get.
- Wait for the confirmation prompt, then download and install Norton directly from your Norton Account
