[chirp_users] Windows 10 and 11 S Mode

[Nicola Jayne Hodson]

devices sold   in S mode  are aimed at   'appliance'   level home users  -
 who  have become used to the curated  ecosystem of  iOS and Android
rather than  the  'fiddling'  that  traditional desktop (and laptop)
deployments  of  various OSes  have needed

as you  correctly point out  you  can  take  such machines  out of  S mode
and into the 'normal'  consumer  Win 10 / 11  'home' editions  relatively
easily
