My old computer had some kind of virus/ malware and recently shot craps. I recently purchased a renewed Dell OptiPlex 9020-SFF Intel Core I5-4570 3.2 GHZ 16 GB Ram 512 SSD DVD/DRW, Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. Should I be using a new Microsoft account, or is it safe to use the same account. I do try to be careful What is the best antivirus/antimalware. I am not to sure about Windows Defender, it didn't do such a good job on my last one. Yes, it sent me messages for me to check my antivirus, but it was to late. It had already been turned off, and I could not turn it back on. It would say that I didn't have the authority, that I needed to contact my IT Administrator. I am also a little confused by the fact that I am not seeing a Control panel. Where is it that I get to my security and set up my Admin account for this new computer, Or did everything come with from the old one. Your help is much appreciated. I know this is really basic stuff, I got to start somewhere. Thanks.
