I know that there are workarounds to install Win 11 on older machines. 
What I'm wondering about is whether installing aftermarket virus 
software (Norton, AVG, etc.) would keep Win 10 safe after MS stops 
supporting it.  Clearly, Win 10 won't get patches to Notepad, Snipping 
Tool, etc.  but would anti-virus software keep Win 10 safe from malware 
on the internet?

What support that MS will stop providing can't be provided by 
aftermarket software?
