Better Security Features: Windows 11 includes enhanced security features to protect your data and privacy. It has a built-in hardware-based security system called TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 2.0 that protects your device from some cyber threats. This should not be seen as a full anti-virus security program, but something to complement and assist your comprehensive anti-virus.
