Yes, it's not the quickest thing, however it can be very fast with some small tweaks.
1) Opted out of S mode - pretty painless.
2) debloated - just manually uninstalled the preinstalled apps. Im sure there's a quicker way to do it with a script.
3) quick adjustments to turning off privacy, notifications, things that send data to Microsoft.
4) 4GB of memory is soldered and added a 8GB DDR stick on the open RAM Slot. System recognizes 12GB now.
5) Open m2 SSD slot - Popped in a old 250 GB Samsung 970 Plus. Boots perfectly and much faster plus have the built in 128GB eMMC for storage. The SSD operates at 3500Mbps where as the eMMC storage is at around 300Mbps.
6) There is also a SD card slot for more storage.
Includes 1 year of office 365 which is solid value if you were already paying $70 a year for it.
The only con I find is the screen. It is VERY lackluster and leaves alot to be desired. It is usable, but thinking of plugging in a monitor if I was going to do any lengthy work on it.
USB C only does data, no charging or display port, however I knew that going in.
It is light and plasticky in a good way and the blue makes it seem more expensive than it is.
Step 1. Type "UEFI" in the start menu.
Step 2. Click "Change Advanced Startup Option
Step 3. Click "Restart Now" in the Advanced Startup" section
Step 4. After the computer reboots it will come up to a blue screen with "Continue", "Turn off your PC", "Use a device" and "Troubleshoot". Go ahead and click "Troubleshoot"
Step 5. Click "Advanced Options" and click "UEFI Firmware Settings" and click "Restart"
Step 6. This will open the BIOS screen. Go to the "Boot" menu and make sure that option "eMMC" is on the bottom and your SSD is above it.

Does Office 365 come as a code? I already have the family 365, wondering if I could pass that on to someone else instead.

Word is preloaded and at first launch it says "your PC comes with 1 year of office..." Then it asks you to log in to the Microsoft account within office where you want that 1 year applied to. Nothing in the box with a code.

Question about #5: How did you copy the OS to the SSD? Something like Macrium Reflect? Did you have to change the boot order in the BIOS?

worth the hassle of going in store as you can use the $15 instead to buy a 8GB stick of ram if one doesn't already have one.

The low-power CPU is obviously not strong but offers relatively good battery life. At least, this one is 4-core. The RAM upgradability and empty M.2 SSD make this a cheap but usable Windows laptop for basic office tasks, streaming, zoom and net surfing.
The 1-year Office 365 subscription alone could cost $50-$70!? already.
The other major weakness is the 1080p but TN panel. But you cannot realistically find a Windows laptop with IPS in this price point. (maybe except Dell refurbished old machines)

Switching out of S mode is one-way. If you make the switch, you won't be able to go back to Windows 10 or Windows 11 in S mode. There's no charge to switch out of S mode.
On your PC running Windows 11 in S mode, open Settings > System > Activation.
In the Switch to Windows 11 Pro section, select Go to the Store. (If you also see an "Upgrade your edition of Windows" section, be careful not to click the "Go to the Store" link that appears there.)
On the Switch out of S mode (or similar) page that appears in the Microsoft Store, select the Get button. After you see a confirmation message on the page, you'll be able to install apps from outside of the Microsoft Store.
