    Do I need an AV on a new Win 10 laptop?


    Hi everyone. I just bought and received an Apollo Lake laptop (celeron) so I can use in the field.
    I have an extra bitdefender license, but I am worried about it slowing down the performance.
    Is WD by itself good enough? I do transfer files frequently.
    The laptop has 6GB of RAM, but I am worried that bitdefender might tax the apollo lake CPU too much, it's already not a fast computer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    :)
