Turns out, new PCs come with a special Windows 10 "S" edition where you can't install anything except from the Microsoft Store. No Firefox or Chrome, nothing.

@oreolek you can turn off S-mode by searching "Switch out of S Mode" in the Store

@noiob OH THANK YOU i really didn't know what to do. It's impossible to even burn a new Ubuntu or Windows image without installing anything. And MS Store is just an adware pile.

@oreolek glad I could help! it should be way more obvious imo
