Laptop Hardening advice for Windows?
Keep a super long story short, getting a Laptop from my University as the course starts in September, and the benefit I have applied for which covers my university course in the UK includes a Laptop.
They pay for the majority of the price.
Intel i5 10th generation or AMD Ryzen 5 4000 8 GB 512 SSD graphics Onboard
Onboard graphics Operating system Windows 10 64 Bit 10 64 Bit 2.8 kg
These are the minimum specs it will come with.
As a privacy consciousness individual, and since I will require the Laptop formy course at university, andpotentially a job, one day perhaps, I would like to make the laptop as privacy friendly and hardened as possible.
I want to basically make it a safe device. I need it to be not monitoring me, or watching me.
Potentinally there will be some sort of system or software that can monitor my activities through my.university orbenefitss people.
As it is for studying and for working, I think best to keep the same operating system (OS) Also I have only ever used windows in my life. Never Linux other than a virtual system on my host windows 11 pro edition PC.
My PC has an amd ryzen 55 000 CPU.
Thanks.
