    Should I uninstall McAfee before I download and install Windows 11


    Hi, I'm going to be downloading and installing Windows 11 on my HP desktop computer Windows 10 soon. I checked out all my computer specs and ran the PC Health Check which confirmed my computer is able to install Windows 11. Should I uninstall McAfee before doing so? I read online that McAfee can sometimes interfere with the Windows 11 installation process or cause conflicts after installation. My concern is that I won't be able to reinstall McAfee I also read online that I probably don't even need McAfee because Windows Defender is sufficient. Is this so? Thank-you for any assistance yo

    :)
