microsoft essentials for windows 7 64 bit

I do weekly backups of the PC using Macrium Reflect.Īlso, I prefer paying for a product that provides better vendor and forum support. Willing to test-try a couple products to confirm no interruptions. Several software products that I use will not run on Win10.Īs support is now ended for both Win7 and MS SecEss, I'm asking for guidance on a basic AV product that provides protection but minimizes operating system overhead, if such is possible. I have been using Security Essentials for last couple years, and it seems to not require resources that interrupt music production. PC is connected via WiFi external adapter.

The PC is offline for music work, however, I do connect to the web temporarily for downloading updates, new product trials, etc. I have a PC (Win7-64) used exclusively for home music studio work, which requires a low overhead and minimal operating system 'interruptions' which could impact music production. Since Microsoft is dropping updates/support for MS Sec Essentials on Win7 platform.
