If you want to use computers you have to

I have to make this environment and I have to transfer my coins to is ASAP, it needs to happen. At what point do you stop being paranoid and start actually performing the tasks you have to do?

use write once media like bluray-r or cd-r or dvd-r instead of usb or laptop storage. encrypt the cold storage wallet and use a strong password so if anyone steals it they won't get anything out of it. make a couple copies of the encrypted data and keep one in your home and one in a safe deposit box. you don't need a laptop to store a cryptocurrency wallet.

When you grow a pair.

Unless you are actually using propriety software, any kind of security you do after, is icing on the cake, especially for cold storage. You aren't setting up the next google to be accessed by millions of people, no one besides your mom is going to go on your computer in your basement. It won't be bothered, just keep network cards turned off completely.
