Windows 10: New Machine & Norton

New machine came with Norton Security (30 day trial). With W7 I went +10 years with MS Security Essentials (free) and never an issue with malware or virus, etc. Is there a W10 MSSE? Should I remove Norton or let it expire? I thought MS has a built-in security feature (Defender)? If so, why would they install a competitor? What is my recommended course?

thank you

Windows 10 and Norton

Hi Mike,

Sorry! The latest version of Norton Security 22.5.2 is compatible with Windows 10. I would suggest installing the latest version of Norton Security using the steps here:
www.norton.com/install. Sorry, I am not sure of the best way to restore the OS to the previous version. You can try the steps mentioned here: How to recover a previous build(s) or your original version of Windows using the Recovery or Rollback feature - Revised July 22nd, 2018.

Thanks!
