FYI we just tried to use the Costco Concierge extended warranty for an Acer soon we bought Jan 28 2018.

Spent hours waiting on hold for Costco Concierge only to be told that the warranty is thru Citi not them, Called Citi, they directed me back to Costco. 2nd call to Costco after hours on hold again, finally find out there is a form you fill out and send to Citi. Sent form, few days later get a response that need a repair estimate. Call Costco Concierge again, yup, hours waiting on hold. Finally get thru, told to call Acer, called Acer and was told since outside the Acer warranty it would be $449 for them just to receive the laptop and assess what was wrong. Sent that email to Citi as repair estimate, nope, not good enough, got response back that they require a detailed breakdown and parts and labor cost. Gave up at that point. From our experience the 2+2 warranty is useless and false.

Yes, this procedure worked in the Wiki for a similar 14-CF000000 worked for me to get the Home version last year. Hopefully it still does.

On your PC running Windows 10 in S mode, open Settings > Update & Security > Activation.
Find the Switch to Windows 10 Home or Switch to Windows 10 Pro section, then select the Go to the Store link.
Note

Don't select the link under Upgrade your edition of Windows. That's a different process that will keep you in S mode.

On the page that appears in the Microsoft Store (Switch out of S mode or a similar page), select the Get button. After you confirm this action, you'll be able to install apps from outside the Microsoft Store.

a touch screen laptop is one of those rare cases where you're allowed to touch something but hardly/never do

Seems like a good deal for the price, any major red flags that make this not worth $350?

I've done it on 2 laptops if you follow instructions it's a piece of cake.

I'm getting one for my daughter, my father in law and dad both have a similar model (less $, less ram...) From previous years. It's a very solid laptop, light weight, backlight keys, for general use it's super quick (SSD helps a lot with that), long battery, fast charging, IPS display is beautiful and supports HDR.

the costco description says this: "An optional one-way switch out of S mode to Windows 10 Home is available."

is it really that simple?

It is not a physical button or switch so no, but not hard. Read this thread for more info. Someone discusses another thread with a wiki. Or there is always google. I am sure there are instructions on Microsoft's site.

I suggest searching Youtube for upgrade directions. My last 2 HPs have required extra disassembly compared to simply removing the back cover. Had to remove the keyboard too. I am not getting another HP that needs any upgrades.Also, there may be one stick of RAM soldered on with any laptop, but I am not bothering to research it. you could still certainly upgrade but if there is a soldered on stick and even if the other slot is full, it will be doable. Just won't be matched.
