Question Mom's new pc.

[molchmeister]

I just built my 89 y/o mother a new win10 pc, she has been running a win7 pc and getting viruses every week. That being I have several questions.
1) Is there an easy way to port over her website passwords or will I have to do that manually?
2) I use malwarebytes on my pc would that be appropriate for her?
3) Can I set it up so I can remote in if something happens so I can fix it from home?
Thank for any advice.

1. No. Do it manually
2. Win10 Built-in AntiVirus is good enough
3. AnyDesk, free.

I would suggest Open Shell Menu for easier Windows 7 to 10 GUI transition.

I would not trust Win10's built in AntiVirus any further than I could throw the PC you built. Malwarebytes is a very good choice.

She uses it for facebook, to download/print crochet patterns, online banking, and to communicate with her doctors. I have converted her apartment to a smart home, everything is controlled by alexa. She just has bad judgement when she gets those you have won emails.
