Hi,
Frankly I don't know if McAfee is Windows 10 compatible or not. Or if it is then is
the version you have compatible.
Windows 8/8/1/10 have a version of Windows Defender which is a full antivirus
which I prefer to use. Despite all the hype out there Windows Defender and
the Windows Firewall are true superstars and extremely compatible.
I would uninstall McAfee and then run its removal tool to prevent leaving
trouble causing remnants.

Winsows 10 is telling me that McAfee has got to be uninstalled because it is not compatible?
