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.

I actually had planned to and got talked into this instead for less money.
Why do say that?
