Purchased 2 new windows 10 computers that came with McAfee security software installed. Already have Norton security installed on 2 older computers which these will replace. How do remove McAfee and reinstall Norton on the new computers?

    Hi MarilynStern

    you will need to activate the mcafee product, if you haven't already, then use the mcafee removal tool to remove it.

    step 2 on this guide

    windows defender has come a long way in recent years and is now as good as anty purchased security solution (e.g Norton)

    it is developed by microsoft specifically to work with windows and not against it

    of course the choice is yours but personally i would not bother with either Norton or Mcafee.

    With Windows 10 you do not need a 3rd party antivirus other than maybe Malwarebytes.
