I have been computer free for probably 15ish years until I recently bought and set up a RPi4 with Linux. It’s been fun but I’m not really a super user so I’m looking to back to Windows as my main OS.

Thanks for your responses in advance.

Looking at internet traffic to suspicious ips. I also didn’t really pay for it, so tell me if you need tips on getting it.
