    Windows 10 Upgrade Discussion: Compatibility and Features

    Okay, got a question. How good is the Windows firewall? My free period of antivirus software is expiring and I've been looking at Avast Free, well at least it's reviews, but it doesn't come with a firewall, so am wondering if i could manage with Windows inbuilt one. Thanks for any answers.
