Trial version of McAfee security software.

Hello there.

My new Windows 10 system arrived with a trial version of McAfee security software installed.  I do not wish to continue with this.  How do I safely remove it but ensure that Windows Security software is fully activated?

Hi BarryP01
to fully remove mcafee products, uninstall in settings -> apps -> apps & features and then run the mcafee product removal tool.

follow the guide from McAfee which also has the download link for the MCPR Tool

https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/ora...

once finished windows defender should switch on automatically.
please let me know if you have problem with it
