An anonymous reader writes from a report via BleepingComputer: Yesterday, Microsoft released new standards that consumers should follow in order to have a highly secure Windows 10 device. These standards include the type of hardware that should be included with Windows 10 systems and the minimum firmware features. The hardware standards are broken up into 6 categories, which are minimum specs for processor generation, processor architecture, virtualization, trusted platform modules (TPM), platform boot verification, and RAM. Similarly, firmware features should support at least UEFI 2.4 or later, Secure Boot, Secure MOR 2 or later, and support the Windows UEFI Firmware Capsule Update specification.

How to secure any version of Windows by CanadianMacFan · 2017-11-06 15:09 · Score: 0, Troll

Unplug the power cable from the device.
If the system has a battery let it run out of power.
Voila! Your Windows system is now secure.
If you want something with more security while being able to actually use the computer then I would suggest installing an operating system with a Linux or BSD base.
