From the setup owner View current setup
I am doing the dirty work. I am reinstalling Windows. I blocked driver updates from WU by editing the registry (I created 4 reg keys in cmd) during Windows installation. I don't want WU to install generic drivers.

For now I am keeping NKT OSA. I still have not decided about Webroot yet.

One more thing, I ditched AOMEI for O&o Diskimage 21 Premium.

Now I am downloading 1.8GB of drivers using Dell Command Update.

It seems I will install the following.

1- MD (default settings)
2- WFC
3- NVT OSA

Still have not decided what to use for web protection
I know I can enable MD Web protection, but I will skip it. Instead, I will either use BDTL, or just harden my Adguard DNS.
 
From the setup owner View current setup
How to enable MD web protection, and how to harden your AdGuard DNS?
To enable MD Network Protection

Set-MpPreference -EnableNetworkProtection Enabled

As for Adguard DNS hardening, I am researching the following to add to Adguard lists
1- HaGeZi - Threat Intelligence Feeds
2- HaGeZi - Multi PRO
3- Dandelion Sprout's Anti-Malware List
