IMHO, a consumer firewall can only do so much. The system may still be
vulnerable to zero day exploits (with no update from MS), trojan
payloads, etc.
Ok, had not considered these, thanks!!
One needs to weigh the benefit and the risk of whatever you are doing
with Win10.
Ok.
In case you have a VM then, at a minimum I would suggest that you
create a snapshot of the "pristine" version of your installation and
save a copy of the "snapshot" on separate media for restoration in
case of a compromise.
The Win10 is on a laptop that I run VirtualBox that have around 10 LAMP
VMs. It also runs my video software that only runs on M$.
My daily driver is an old dell running Kubuntu. I am not ready to
upgrade my hardware.... I have until Oct. So maybe I need to convert
that laptop to kubuntu and find a free Linux video editor. I hear
Kdenlive is a good choice.
There's some internet chatter about MS providing security updates on a
subscription basis but I don't know if that's applicable to Win10
desktops, YMMV.
I've heard/read about this.... At this station in life I am on a
shoestring and really need to move away from M$ anyway...
Thanks!!
Keith
