I just impulse bought a new laptop (Lenovo 310-15IKB 80TV) because my old one (Toshiba Satellite M55-S135) is falling apart too much to justify continued parts investments. I've been running Mint all this time and am now going back to Windows for school/work related reasons. They only had Windows 10: how do I clean up and secure my machine?

I bet you got the geeksquad protection plan, didn't you?

Thought about it, but they said "accidental damage" didn't cover really bad accidental damage. Kaspersky came with it free and I got a cheap flash drive to make a boot disk.

I work for best buy
it covers anything except complete destruction, deliberate destruction, and fire damage. Kaspersky is the best of the 3 brands they give out for free, webroot is generally given to tech illiterates. Trend Micro is a pile of shit, don't touch it with a ten foot pole

>complete destruction
That's more or less what I envision happening to everything I own. I'm on my fourth phone this year.

buy a ThinkPad or a Panasonic Toughbook, you clearly need it

Next one will be a ThinkPad with excessive RAM, I think. I impulse bought this PlebPad because I was having issues with my Toshiba (keeps going dark until I slam it closed a few times, keeps freezing up until hard restarting it three times) and as it was strongly suggested I would have a job if I learned ladder logic, I figured I should finally get a new laptop.
Know of any good cases? I was thinking of fabricating one, but I have a lot projects right now.

Thule is good for protection, but anything with lots of padding should work

Sweet, thanks. I tried to put it in my IBA, but it doesn't fit, so I definitely need to come up with something new.

Alas, my last round is but a coward's bullet, and I am too much a coward to be a coward tonight. Besides, flying debris might pierce my splash suit and get Windows 10 all over me. Gross.
