Surface Laptop w/ Intel Core M3 & Windows 10 Pro

[jeff4432]

I just bought a 2017 Surface Laptop with and intel core m3-7Y30. It obviously came with windows 10 s, and I have the option to upgrade to windows 10 pro.

I like how fast the machine runs with windows 10 s, but I'd like to be able to download Google Chrome and other applications.

So heres my question - can this laptop run windows 10 pro efficiently? Or if I upgrade will it dramatically reduce how fast the computer is?

I'm also not sure if there is a way to go back to windows 10 s if I upgrade to pro, so I want to make sure its a good decision.

Thank you!

The differences between Windows 10 S and Pro are negligible, save for some arbitrary limitations on 10 S (which make sense to some), performance will be the same.

You could just go to Pro, not install anything and likely not notice a difference.
