I remember Windows 10 had major security weaknesses when it first came out. I promised myself I wouldn't use it for that reason, but lately I've noticed improved performance in games using the OS. Do those vulnerabilities justify the benefits?

It's equally safe as any other MS OS. Your main concern should be privacy. While W10 has many built-in protections, you can turn them off if needed.

The security level remains average at best, unless you rely on typical antivirus software like Windows Defender, which many people already use.

Windows 10 operates on a foundation similar to Windows 8.1. The main concern is the data collection feature, which aggregates usage information across all users. This doesn't reveal personal details but compiles general patterns such as click locations, monitor counts, and hardware specs. Disabling this option isn't possible; it's only available as a "Basic" setting. Because many services are interconnected—like OneDrive and Cortana—the Privacy Policy encompasses them, allowing Microsoft flexibility to evolve. Some interpret this as a breach of trust, but the reality is more nuanced, involving technical integration rather than direct surveillance. Conspiracy theories about government ties are unfounded and not supported by the available information.
