First 4 are disabled on unsupported systems anyway (4 is also sometimes disabled to squeeze out gaming performance), but 5 is scary as hell.

Windows forcing users to have to pay extra for what should be default security features has always been an awful practice.

The only one of those that is locked behind a specific Windows edition is Credential Guard, which only works on Enterprise and Education because it has to do with auth tokens of the domain, not local windows login AFAIK

The rest are locked behind hardware features like TPM and UEFI settings like secure boot.

I hate Microslop as much as the next person, but they do actually try to push their security features on everyone because of the reputation they've had as the most insecure OS.

If Microsoft were honest they'd change the name from Windows to Backdoors.

No backdoors here!

But the windows are all wide open and on the ground floor.

If the Russian Mafia can do it, theoretically so can you.
