That will depend on the requirements and compatibility of the games you want to play. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. In order to install Chrome Browser, it will be necessary to switch out of S-Mode. We recommend you check with the game's software publisher's web sites for their compatibility with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration. If you need to switch out of S-Mode, here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode

Hello, and thank you for your question. There is no maximum on alarms. You may set as many as you would like.

There are two standard USB 2.0 version ports and three standard USB 3.1 version ports. These newer version 3.1 USB ports are backward compatible to USB 2.0 cables/devices.

We recommend you make an appointment to take your system to your local Best Buy Store and have the Best Buy Geek Squad Agents check out the problem.
