     Unfortunately this laptop is unusable. It has blocked me from installing both Brave and Steam, and will only allow me to download apps from the Microsoft Store.

     The only way it will let me install other apps is if I sign into a Microsoft account, which gives them the power to put all their AI, Remote Desktop, and telemetry software I deleted and disabled back on the laptop. Which I do not want. Oh well. At least I got a refund.

     I needed to go return this laptop I bought from Walmart, and the only option was to return it to a store. But the box is too big for my lap on my power wheelchair to get it on and off 2 buses to return it, so I asked if they could do the in home return service on it since I can’t get it to the store myself. Walmart gave me a full refund on the laptop and told me to keep it. Wow.
