Everything are well covered. Consider to have a backup browser in case you have some issues to your primary one.

Just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, performing a clean install.
Same setup of my previous Windows 7 config.

I didn't like Windows 8 so much, but no problem so far with Win10. Starting to enjoy all its features and smoothness!

Hello, install a password manager, such as Keepass, and install SandBoxie, use it also while navigating: Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

There isn't any password manager in my config because I've always set strong ones since my very first PC use.
Passwords are really unbreakable if you mix up numbers and symbols with dialect words getting up to 15 characters eheh
Easy to remember and super-secure, so a manager is useless for me (at the moment )

I used SBie in the past, but with safe surfing habits, MBAE, an always-up-to-date-browser and Avast's Hardened Mode on "Aggressive" I feel it to be redundant
