This guide in a nutshell
Windows 10 was launched in July 2015 in a context infused with talks about security and privacy. As online safety became a priority for an important group of users (often key opinion leaders), Microsoft turned this into a selling point. Windows 10 was boldly described as "the most secure Windows ever."
This Windows 10 security guide is meant to help you understand what's new about this OS, and how you can adjust your security and privacy settings for maximum protection.
