And you also have the 32GB or 128GB SD card depending on how much you want to pay.
The speed on the flash storage is better than a regular HDD hard drive and your overall performance in whatever you’re doing on the computer will be affected. You can switch to the Windows 10 Home version from the S mode through the Start menu and Microsoft Store.
