Cybercrime is becoming an increasingly more lucrative endeavor luring in script kiddies that won’t hesitate to infect individual PCs in the hopes of stealing credit card, or bank login information.

However, for consumer PCs, there isn't such a heavy focus and there is definitely less emphasis and support for do-it-yourself security from Microsoft. Don't worry though, these 6 steps are relatively easy, worthwhile changes to implement right now on your Windows 11 PC to make sure your PC is as secure as possible.
