4 easy ways I make Windows 11 more secure (but still usable)

While I’m not as close to the diehard PC tech scene as I used to be, I’m familiar enough that I know some of the lengths people will go to secure Windows. That can include everything from setting up their own proxy servers to “airgapping” their PC — that is, leaving it physically disconnected from the internet until it’s absolutely necessary to go online. That’s a pretty serious challenge when Windows is increasingly built around Microsoft accounts, Copilot, and OneDrive. The true die-hards won’t even bother with Windows for that reason; they’re running some form of Linux.
